Yes, but they hired you as a truck driver.

Not his fault. He saw SW driver and didn't realize it stood for septic waste.

Well get out of there then. There's real work out there too.

That's the evil of CMS.
What you win on programming you lose on configuration.

Sounds like you've been there 2 months too long.

Yeah, I am kinda, sorta looking now. Contacted one or two of the most helpful recruiters and am looking to move to Tampa - where I am now is a desert. The major factor of this job was that it is 100% remote to Virginia. I realize that a 'rounded' developer deals with configuration, documentation, etc. but this is just a bit much. Plus, with any luck I will retired to the Dominican Republic in a year, and open a bar on the beach  ( I am looking for bouncers, and waitresses, in fact  )

Writing code is overrated. Software development means providing and maintaining software. That also includes configuration files and servers.
You better asks yourself whether you like such stuff or not. Looking for alternatives is alwasy good.
Press F1 for help or google it.

A bunch of us here like what we do - and are lucky enough to be paid for it.
Perhaps the gentleman would like a similar situation.
I, myself, would really hate to work when working for a living more than the minimum necessary.

I suggest you don't pick a fight with him. Things are too ripe right now and things would fall apart.

I think he's juiced up on something.

This topic is peachy but I have the distinct feeling that you're going nuts.

You're forgetting the strawberry, fool! It was painful to watch the apple crumble though.

A pitiful attempt that doesn't appeal to me. Yet, there stems from it a certain pithy charm not only to the other but tomato.
Ooops - I plum forget to say cheers!

Perhaps it was a warning against "dumbing down" things for users to understand, or for users to see how we can "just make it work". The first we all know, the second deserves an example:
One of my past VIP users insisted that the reason for his site personnel's netbooks extreme slow performance was not the netbooks themselves, but the anti-virus and WPA2 encryption. That person had so much influence that we were forced to uninstall the anti-virus and remove all wireless encryption. Thanks to a good firewall and fair web filtering we escaped malware, but when the neighbours clogged the DHCP server with their mooching off free access, we had to cut down this nonsense - which, by the way, did not improve performance. The VIP's response? Ditched the project, buried the netbooks and the whole thing in a storage room, and never mentioned it again!

I saw Einstein's famous quote about the need for simplicity on slashdot today:
"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." -- Albert Einstein
...but then realized that the quote itself as not as simple as possible, because the potentially simple sentence is complex - the ending clause is redundant, for if something is already as simple as possible, it's impossible to simplify it further.
Was he of the wild hair pulling our leg?
