> Acquiring soft skills comes naturally anyhow. Yes and no. Basically, learning how to get along with others is a skill you need to learn and practice just like coding. If you don't have the opportunities or take the time to practice, you won't learn it. In a good environment, you have enough contact with other people that "soft skills" seem to come automatically. But if you spend a significant portion of your developmental years isolated (for whatever reason), social skills are anything but natural.
