Most of it went over my head, but there's so much knowledge and expertise on display here that it makes me proud that this person I've never met is out there proving that software development isn't entirely full of clowns.
I wish I still had this level of motivation :)
It's rather: can you find a company that pays you for having and extending this arcane knowledge (and even writing about it)?
Even if your job involves such topics, a lot of jobs that require this knowledge are rather "political" like getting the company's wishes into official standards.
