Is this true?
snom370: At a certain point you're talking about  SANs, FibreChannel routers, HVAC systems, UPS, virtualization, etc etc, and keeping up to date on all of this knowledge is a job in itself. So a guy spending most of his time doing "big IT" sysadmin stuff might not have the time to become a really great programmer.That being said, I know plenty sysadmins that have gone on to become great programmers. And truly great programmers tend to love computers, both software and hardware.Larry and Sergey were apparently also server guys: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bsmif/3465464623/
