Hi there.



 I guess what people are trying to say is that ass-licking skills presently
are the most valuable survival skills in the programming field. Presentation
skills are required because presentation skills bring money to the company.
Programmers don't bring money. Programmers are payroll, expense. Salespeople
bring money to the company. So, the better a potential employee sells
himself/herself at the interview the more attractive he/she for the hiring
manager. The same continues during employment. Managers who make technical
decisions due to the lack of their own knowledge are often base their
decisions upon whoever presents their suggestions better. As a result nicely
wrapped and technically meaningless suggestions from the loyal employee
leave no chance to the suggestions from the programmers who know first hand
how things work.



I am not saying that all managers are evil. It is just in the human nature
to fall for flattery. From my twelve years career as a professional
programmer, I've seen only one manager who judged people by their knowledge
and quality of work, not by the sweetness of their talk.



To answer your question about employment at present, I can say that I don't
drive Taxi. After two months in the driving school I've got my AZ license
and drive heavy trucks at night in the GTA.



Should you be interested in details of how to begin a career of a truck
driver, please let me know.
