While IT managers tend to be tied up with all of the "why nots" of corporate technology, we are lucky enough that a large percentage of our work exists outside of that bubble. we get to work on a solution without going through the regular channels. At the end of the day, its the IT director that spends millions to simply "run things" (exaggerated common misperception), while "that web guy" went and built something visible on a shoe string budget. more often than not, the technologies that we are working with are not any more complicated or important than the internal workings -- they are just wholly accessible to us.
