@ Entroper
With all due respect are you "just " a PHP and SQL programmer? Do you have any experience with designing game engines, low-level development in assembler and/or C, have you hit the hardware like demoscene coders on older systems do?
I think there's a great difference with regard to perspectives from high level developers (fully dependent on what the low-level developers provide them with) and those who work on lower level stuff like writing OS kernels and programming languages like many people I know have done. The latter usually have a much deeper understanding of hardware architectures and their potential.
Of course I do value your input for this thread if you refrain from off topic personal orientated stuff. Just would like to know for sure what you mean exactly by stating "I'm a programmer"?
