The dichotomy between the "liberal arts" students and STEM/ aka what the author considers"successful" people is one of the biggest annoyances I have about modern tech culture. In the 60s and 70s, some of the most significant computing advances were made by implementing ideas from the humanities with an extraordinary degree of technical acumen - this was Douglas Engelbart's whole MO. The book "What the Doormouse Said" is a great overview of this. I wish more tech people realized that they aren't diametrically opposed to one another. They need each other.
