# IT Jobs, a taxonomy
## Working class smart person
8 hours day, surge days at ship-to-prod times. Hard work, sweeping sand into the sea, infinite TODO-lists.
## Piece work
Work is so well defined a 3rd party contractor could do it, e.g. move datacenter to new building.
## Fireman work
Do nothing unless server is down. Then work around the clock to fix it.
## BS Job
Org is throwing people at the project with no clue what will work. Unclear goals & chaos, idle people for most of the year.
