Hey programmers

IT fag here, do you guys build your own computers or are you only into programming and shit?

>Why wouldn't anyone be able to program, yet have no idea how to buy or "build" (picking and assembling components is hardly that hard of a job) a PC, not to mention being able to administrate them at a decent enough level?
>All programmers understand how to assemble a computer from a random mishmash of parts.

It might surprise you guys but there are a lot of programmers who can't put together a computer, indeed there are numerous computer programmers who code in stuff like CL and RPG who have a tough time even navigating a PC.

I've seen programmers who pretty much acted like the network was to assumed to be secure, sending unencrypted credit card data.

I knew an as/400 lady who got fired because she couldn't learn VB.NET, she was also incapable of connecting a computer to the IP ethernet network.
Lots of programmers know almost nothing about networking,  I had a adjunct CC vb professor who seemed to not to have a great depth of knowledge about how windows administration or networks work, also his computer science was a little softer than I would have expected at times.
But I will agree I'm tired of kids who can put together a computer and install linux on it thinking they are just genius.

>could technically go into CompSci and not actually know anything about real hardware.
Computer science programs vary widely in content, my school will never tell me how a radio wave or analog electronics work (at least not in detail) but some schools will, my liberal arts school will teach me a ton about circuit logic and math, trade schooly schools teach almost all very domain specific material whenever they can.
