Cool article. I really recognize what you wrote. I'm so jealous at your amazing ability to express yourself in a way other people actually understand what you mean.
I'm not sure if you try to recoin code monkey, but it's pretty much a derogatory term reserved for the types of programmers who can only develop following a well defined spec. In other words, the programmer who just types away and doesn't have to think much because all of the architectural thinking was done for him/her. Given this I think you need to consider moving the monkeys in the second category :-) en.wikipedia.org/.../Code_monkey

Pete - Yup, I know the real meaning. However, in the spirit of the Coulton song and the show I'm attempting to take back the phrase! :)
