Well, I wouldn't call it a hybrid but I'm a working Docs Manager, so I
manage and write, as well as do Help integration with VS.NET, build
installer scripts, build scripts, edit source code and sample apps,
and aid other departments in developing marketing materials, training
materials, and the like.
