> We're a broad and varying bunch

You might not want to self-identify too much with those who "couldn't care less about how exactly things work under the hood". When you've spend the best part of a day carefully explaining how NOT (a OR b) is the same as (NOT a) AND (NOT b) to the "programmer" at the next desk who got his job because someone else of the same gender and ethnicity filled in for him at the aptitude test, you'll quickly curse how HR people turn a blind eye to closely checking such stuff so they can meet their hiring quotas.

It's not even inconceivable that someone like this has conned their way into running open source software projects, perhaps even project managing a "Top 50" programming language!
