I found a new one though, I sent him the details, just waiting to hear back

Why do you guys need programmers? What do they do for you? I buy them when something specific needs to be done. But otherwise, in our end of the business, where do they fit in? Not trying to get on any programmers tits, I am sure there are large cash progammes that employ you, but when you are not a huge player does it make economic sense?

Hell yes they make sense.
Programmers are the schiznits...they are the wizards that make my life easy.
You can work hard, or you can work smart.
I <3 the programmers with the mad skillz, worth every penny imo.

time is money.

any task that is repeated regularly and is predictable in it's behavior can be automated with a good programmer.
