Parsing a defected XML or HTML, Analyzing other programmers code for logical mistakes, find and fix bugs, meeting deadlines, extra requirement burdens from clients, giving estimates for unknown projects ……. And the list goes on and on.
5. They are committed
They start their commitment by committing project deadline. Then commit their projects to SVN and then works on those projects with that commitment no matter what is the project. Finish what you start is an unspoken motto for them.
6. They know reverse engineering.
When things fail and the problem becomes impossible for them, they receive a signal from their server and when they decode it the meaning is ‘Dekh le yaar’. That means do it anyhow, and then they start reverse engineering. There is a record in OST all problems became history, here they didn’t left any single one unsolved.

This is a service they always enjoy. They have lots of experience on how to give maintenance and support. Also, they can write you user guide on how to handle them with all the flow charts, ER-Diagrams and graphical arts. So you can better understand them.
9. Jealousy of some words
You must be jealous of some name,like jQuery, PHP, Joomla etc. And you cannot do anything. Just because these are their first love. You have to go with it.
10. Committed
