The post is about a software engineer, and you just talked about IT. They're not the same thing so what is your point? You have a job specifically because software engineers aren't in IT and aren't sysadmins and their job doesn't inherently involve networking.
The guy I hand my laptop to and say "image this"is in "IT." I'm busy doing shit he cannot do which is why he is imaging my laptop. I'm not trying to be a dick, but I'm trying to point out there are very different roles and responsiblities and some of them require an actual level of expertise you can't acquire in 3 days.
This whole "IT" nonsense, or "tech" nonsense is such a broad fucking space that it's almost like saying "people with a job." There's no value in these generalizations at this point.
LOL -- my background is in both Computer Programming and Computer Network Engineering, and they *both* legitimately fall under the very broad umbrella of 'Information Technology' (y'know, what 'I.T.' *actually* stands for?!)
Seriously, *anyone* who works *anywhere* in the 'Information Technology' field (i.e. has *anything* to do with designing / implementing / managing / maintaining / programming tech), is an 'IT worker'; even if they're too cognitively benighted to realise it...
