I'm a Sysadmin so programming would be useful. I can do simple scripts, scan though code, but 20-30 lines I probably my limit on anything. At work there is plenty of other stuff to do so it's not a priority to improve my programming skill. I sit next to a dozen devs who handle all the programming for the sites. In my spare time I'm working on a couple of other things so it's not a big priority either. Despite the people here who say that they went for no-programming to having a huge internet facing webapp in 3 months: (a) That was 3 months of 60+ hour weeks (b) I don't think that being a "good" programmer is that easy. The junior programmers at work have been doing it for 5 years full time. I don't think I can get to a reasonable standard in just a few months (even of 60 hour weeks).
