If the market turns around, the requirements will lessen. In a booming job
market there is room for tool monkeys (those who know little about
technology),
technology snobs (those who know little about the tools or writing in
general),
and even literary hoity-toities (great at writing prose but useless with
tools
and technology). In a tight market, you have to be a technological snob of a
tool monkey who can write perfectly.

do a Senior for years and years and years. BTW, it's my birthday. Beware
the Ides of March. (Thinking of the years and years and years reminded me.
You young whippersnappers!)
