The phrase "SQL programmers" is so fucking weird. SQL isn't a programming language. It's a query language. You don't "program" things with SQL. You utilize SQL as a component of programs for data insertion and lookup, but the actual logic of execution is done in a programming language. Unless you're doing Oracle PL/SQL, in which case why are you giving money to Oracle?

Edit: Damn, this comment made people mad.

I'm a markdown programmer and i disagree with this statement

LaTeX being called "programming" I can see, but I've never heard someone try to justify Markdown as programming. It's just formalizing things people were already doing to format text in plain text files into approximately half of a standard.
