I've made plenty of friends in my late twenties at work and postgrad with people who are also computer nerds. Seriously, just being able to complain about how Python is broken today over a coffee was a gateway into hanging out to watch rugby (I had forgotten that I used to do that until a colleague suggested it.) One thing I am terrible at, though, is remembering to keep in touch with old friends. I don't use Facebook anymore, my twitter feed is full of complete strangers, so actually noticing/remembering about old friends enough to invite them to meet is hard! I can't bring myself to actually put a calendar reminder in to "talk to so-and-so". I have no idea how the author manages to call a friend on the phone to talk about random things.
