This video...

...is a great illustration of the difference between what makes a "perfect day" in the life of a Developer vs. that of an Administrator.

At the end of the day...

• Developers want: new processes, changes to existing processes, integration between systems, access to systems from any device anywhere, systems emailing/feeding/serving other organizations' systems.  In short, they want ACTION.
• Administrators want:  no changes to business, no incidents or system events, and no-one talking about or remembering anything that happened that day.  In short, they want NOTHING TO HAPPEN.  If they could achieve this by unplugging the servers without anyone noticing, they would.

Ok, I'm being facetious, and of course I'm a developer.  But I think this is partly true.

Here's another great thread on Domino developers and adminstrators from a few months ago from Duffbert's blog.  Duffbert and Warren together presented this excellent session at Lotusphere 2008.
