I'm with you - I'm pretty tired of hearing the tired arguments about how developers are the lynchpin in every single thing that's even remotely related to technology.

Programmers have some of the biggest egos I've ever seen out of any profession. We give Wall Street bankers a run for their money when it comes to how self-absorbed and how self-aggrandizing we are.

So very sick and tired of coders belittling the role of everyone else in this society - 95% of coders out there wouldn't even remotely be able to cut it on their own without the umbilical of a stable, sizable employer. There are a lot more skills one needs to survive in their own business than simply the ability to implement software.
