    It used to be that guys with your description actually were the hotshots, believe it or not... I've been reading "Soul Of A New Machine [wikipedia.org]" which followed a Data General mainframe team in the mid-late 1970s, and have been very surprised at how well-rounded the guys over 25 years old at the time were. It starts out a bit slowly, but I'd recommend it.

    Indeed, it's a very good read. One of those fundamental stories that everyone should read at least once. I first encountered it as an assignment as an undergraduate (now over two decades ago...) Still available new http://amzn.com/0316491977 [amzn.com]

    Thanks - I've downloaded it, and read the first chapter so far. Starts out slow, but I'll read it as I find time!
