But note that hiring any sort of administrator is very different >from hiring a programmer. The skillsets are largely disjoint and partially antithetical. Many programmers think they'd be at least decent sysadmins (I thought so, too), and sysadmins vice versa; the truth is that most of them blow chunks at the respective other role.
