<generalization> It's a sad reality that many application programmers have little interest in technology. For them, programming is merely a unpleasant job that they have to endure until they are promoted higher up the ladder to become analysts or managers. My advice to any sysprog who wants to promote a new tool or technique is to ignore those people. Instead, find the programmers who actually enjoy programming and engage them. They're easy to find; they're the ones who do most of the work. </generalization>
