I do not program I admit
Not even one little tiny bit
I'm not ashamed, I'm not amazed
To say it leaves me whollly dazed
You may think me quite the rogue, m'aam
But this does not mean I ever program.
OK, so I don't, but heaps and heaps of top-ranked sysadmins do so, and in some sense this is what distinguishes a real Robert E. Lee from a Martin Sheen look-alike in the networking world. Here is a free on-line book The Art Of Unix [sic] Programming by none other than the head honcho of the Free Software movement, Eric Steven Raymond.
'Nuff said.
