in reply to How can I grow a thicker hide?

Its a personality defect that just happens to be a trait of many software engineers. We're like rare breeds, we have some valuable characteristics, but many also have a handful flaws thrown in for good measure. We're not meant to all be perfect, nor the same, nor equal. Lighten up and get on with it! :) Bob

    I don't really think so. For the longest time I have been a system engineer. I was the typical engineer making fun of the programmers and made subtle changes to the systems that made the programmer rework their programmers. After a while I wanted to try something new and I sat down with a Perl book and I learned Perl. Now after I have spent some time programming I am slowly taking on the traits of the programmers I used mess with. So I think that there are some traits that you pickup through the work that you are doing.
