Those proficient in computer programming skills may become famous, though this regard is normally limited to software engineering circles. Many of the most notable programmers are often labeled "hackers". Programmers often have or project an image of individualistgeekdom, resistance to suits (referring to both business suits and 'The Establishment'), controls and unionisation.
Programmers come in all shapes and sizes. Professional programmers work in corporate IT departments, big companies or small service firms.
Employment is expected to grow much more slowly than that of other computer specialists.
Prospects should be best for college graduates with knowledge of a variety of programming languages and tools; those with less formal education or its equivalent in work experience should face strong competition for employment.
Recently, this sector has experienced significant downsizing in the US, while jobs are offshored to other areas where much lower salaries can be paid, such as India and China.
The secretary doesn't need to be a coder, and it is preferable that he or she be an admin that volunteers for this task, in order to more easily establish a communication between the admins and the coder committee.
Senior coders are those who are extremely confident with the codebase internals, have proven to be productive in terms of patches and actual contributions to the code, are trusted by the admins, and have proven to be capable of cooperatively working together with the rest of the group.
The core group constituted by the senior coders must be kept small, and the only thing that any helper cannot do is vote on the critical decisions of coder-com, thus someone definitely does not need to be a senior coder to contribute to Undernet's server.
Every coder on the site is scored using a formula that takes into account their experience, the sizes of jobs they have worked on, the satisfaction of their customers, and their organizational skills (such as filing status reports).
The adjusted rating is the original rating given to the coder for a project, but adjusted to a negative number when the coder fails to meet the contract by the deadline agreed upon.
A rating of -3 means the Coder not only failed to meet the contract by the deadline agreed upon but also denied that specific flaws existed...which were later actually confirmed to exist by Rent a coder.
