>All true, but that still doesn't answer what possesses someone to pack their cell phone in a box.
this is the primary difference I see between programmers and sysadmins, development and operations. I know programmers who don't own cellphones at all, while I know some sysadmins who take tertiary backup communication devices on vacation.
It's a difference in focus.
Of course, most programming jobs have /some/ operational responsibilities, and most sysadmin jobs have /some/ development responsibilities, but most people see themselves as primarily one or the other, and act accordingly.
- lsc 13y agoNote, I agree that packing your cellphone in a box was a mistake either way. But if you are primarily an operations/sysadmin type? that would be a really big deal kind of mistake, one that you probably wouldn't make very often. To a Developer type who saw their operations role as secondary, sure, it's still a mistake, but it's a smallish, forgettable kind of mistake.
