No, my company is awesome. They treat us very well. There's just one or two posers who are institutionalized enough to have this job, that's all. They are harmless, really.

Hell, I'm probably just speaking out of envy since I'd totally take the $150k they're (probably) making to dick around with NodeJS or whatever.

I wasn't trying to suggest that IBM is a terrible company. I worked there long enough, and in multiple offices in vastly different parts of the country to know that unless you are over 40 years old and have established your career to the extent you are happy with, finding another company that will give you a better overall experience is more important than waiting around simply because you're comfortable (I was definitely comfortable).

Uh, I was trying to say I work for someone way smaller than IBM and way cooler and who treats their employees way better. The architects aren't really representative of the workplace culture in general.

Sorry - didn't know of many companies that played around with enterprise message queues and had "brown bags"
