a rant.
I have encountered other systems programmers of that type
throughout my career, but by no means are all systems programmers
like that. Some have even been friends.
The general attitude towards all application programmers that he
displayed just p***ed me off, and sometimes I let that get out when
I should probably hold my (virtual) tongue.

Peter:
I always had more or less good interactions with sysprogs as well
except at one place these people used to split hairs like you
wouldn't believe.
I was asked to get the LE parms that the CICS people wanted. I sent
an email to them requesting the information and was hopped all over
as I shouldn't have given them the basic LE parms it was up to them
to tell us exactly what they wanted. Another time a sysprog got in a
screaming match over the name of a cobol library that comes with
CICS. I was not comfortable working in that environment and I was
happy to get out of it.
