Alas, I suppose us systems programmers are a dying breed (and I'm not really that old..).

At some point "developer" started meaning "web developer". I know this is the reality of 2013 but I found it a bit depressing that the closest thing I saw was "Backend" with Ruby-on-Rails being the first thing mentioned. Someone had to write the database, web server, proxy, kernel, hypervisor, ... :)
