Database geeks

One thing I've noticed about this group versus the php group; You guys don't work 16 hours a day, or live, each, and
s**tthis subject, like the PHP guys do. 

I make the assumption that most of you are more mature, steady eddie types who do throrough planning in your projects
andhave less emergencies during there rest of the night. Also, perhaps, being one layer removed from the customer
interfacemeans less complex UI problems to get hammered on day and night, and therefore less to go wrong and less
opportuntityfor it to go wrong.

Perhaps this is a result of the cost of failure?

What I mean to say is that very often database apps have to deal with *huge* volumes of data. As such, you could end up
wasting*hours* if your app doesn't work correctly. 

With PHP dev, for the most part, you refresh your browser to test. If it doesn't work right you make a quick change and
you'reoff.
