Very nice article. To be a "systems programmer" or a "rails web programmer" are two very different things. One is not "better" than the other, only different with different skill sets and knowledge while still sharing some general concepts (looping, variables, etc).
- cheald 15y agoThe difference is that it's not uncommon for the same person to be good at both systems programming and rails development, while the elusive quantum physicist-marine biologist is far more rare.
- 16s 15y agoI've not found this to be the case.
- DougBTX 15y agoWould these guys count as crossing the quantum physicist - marine biologist divide? http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/02/100203131356.htm http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/02/100203131356.ht... I wouldn't be surprised if there are more people looking at the effects and applications of quantum mechanics in biology than there are people who split their time between systems programming and rails development.
