Agreed. In my experience a senior sysadmin can work as a above-passable developer. But a senior developer can rarely function as a sysadmin.
As to DBA; I can't help but feeling that the OP hasn't worked with "real" DBA's. That's a whole different ballpark and I've yet to meet a sysadmin or developer who can make even a passable DBA.
I've always thought the hierarchy goes: DBA -> Ops -> Developers. With the last two really about equals.
- dvanduzer 13y ago...you've never met a sysadmin that took an algebra class in college?
