Even though these replies have been on for a while and have the most upvotes, they have been completely ignored. How's that for a community confidence booster?

+1 on this one. Especially on LCD screens viewed at suboptimal angle

the light blue text needs to be darker. It hurts the eyes on smaller and less fancy laptop screens

the really complicated questions require in depth troubleshooting, which this forum cannot (and probably should not) provide. Or access to very high level subject matter experts (this is why spiceworks like to have company reps around, and I think we should somehow try to follow that example)

Not sure which category I might be falling in, but you've missed a point. I (and I'm sure I'm not alone) come here to keep up with technology I don't have on my desk in my current job. Solving real world issues is the best way to learn new stuff and keep up with the current versions of tech that I don't necessarily work with daily. If I can give back to the community while I'm at it, then why not, eh?

@RobM sometimes things don't move until someone kicks 'em in the right direction. There is a huge detachment between a sysadmin and the developer worlds, this is, after all, why the devops idea came to be.

@RobM maybe :) but maybe it's time to move on - the platform is right there after all

I don't see why that is relevant. it's careers.stackexchange, not programmer_careers.stackexchange
