Are you a forensic programmer

When interviewing for positions over the years I have always placed a premium on someone who can code based on the premise that if you can program then you are more likely to understand what a programmer might be thinking when encoding a particular structure.I have always been surprised at the relatively few members of the community who do code, but also accept that my interpretation may be skewed by the circle I move in, so thought I would ask the question formally - so how many of you code? and at what level?Just for clarification, I would not class those of you who have done some programming at Uni (for the sake of this poll, although not denigrating them either) but I am interested in those who code as part of their job. I am also interested in you if you have a good understanding of code be that enscripts, C++ and perl etc., i.e. you know what inheritance and polymorphism are and can recognise their use when you see it in source code
