You'd be surprised how different dev careers can be.

In Windows land it's quite frequent that the dev never leaves Visual Studio. In Eclipse/Java land something similar, even though often the deployments would be on Linux, for cost saving reasons, the devs would all be on Windows.

I should write a blog post or something at some point about the differences in dev careers. Enterprise software development is very different from embedded software development which is different from web development for the mass market which is different from mobile development, etc.

And then those Java developers have to try to interface their code to Jenkins to get it to do CI, and the sysadmins have to deal with the Java guys who just click on the "Run" button in Eclipse and don't know basic things like what directory the code needs to execute from.

Don't get me wrong, those Java developers can be great guys, but when the GUI-only people have to interact with the CLI for the first time, all sorts of problems can manifest themselves.
