I was once accused by a Windows C++ programmer who just couldn't grok UNIX to be a "string cutter", but honestly, there is nothing so viscerally information technology as extract-transform-load. The irony of his accusation was that it was just one of many facets of things that I do and can/know how to do. ETL is really the core of IT by definition.

A lot of the hardcore C++ programmers look down on the whole IT area of programming (as opposed to systems, graphics, embedded etc.), maybe that was the reason.
