At my organization we use:

1.  MySQL
2.  Linux
3.  C & C++
4.  Perl
5.  Java
6.  HTML with Javascript

I think that covers many of the technologies I use.    When I'm looking
for some assistance I'm looking for someone that can work at some level 
with those technologies.
For one role the Perl check mark may be the most important.  For another 
it could be #5 & #6.

Writing code and building is more of a process and not automatic. I 
think those that do not do it think it is automatic.  Being able to 
figure things out goes a long way to make that process work well.
