Completely fucking anecdotal. I've been in tech for decades, in diverse industries, and I've had countless interactions with others on every subject imaginable, from Dostoevsky to quantum physics and everything in between.
Perhaps you're unlucky, or perhaps there's some reason you're only ending up at places full of mindless cretins. Or perhaps the interesting people just don't care to invite you to the bar.
In fact, some of the most interesting people I've interacted with worked with me at a game company. They could talk about games all day, but there was much more to them.
- dvt 9y ago> from Dostoevsky to quantum physics I can't really explain it, but that (embarrassingly) sounds like exactly what an engineer would say. As if people are supposed to swoon over Dostoevsky and quantum physics. It just reeks of pseudo-intellectualism and try-hard-ness. Compare that to @torstenvl's laundry list, which might seem a bit esoteric, but it definitely sounds genuine.
- dang 9y agoNow you're crossing into personal attack. That's not ok. Please don't do that, even if another comment seems wrong or shallow. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
