Virtually no network engineers (by percentage) have to do anything other than worry about what their vendor supports for a given configuration (and usually a fairly small set of configurations, too); it's much more about policy and operations.

Similarly very few developers have to solve open CS problems in writing a CRUD application (or I guess more comparably to ops, come up with a novel implementation of a complex algorithm).

This is progress, though.

"Virtually no network engineers (by percentage) have to do anything other than worry about what their vendor supports for a given configuration" - this statement puts a perspective on your thinking. And then I read your information on the services your company offers, and I realize that it's not worth having a discussion.

"<redacted> takes your security very seriously." - right. That's a statement, not information regarding the thought or implementation. There's not even a mention of technology. <sigh>
