- DyslexicAtheist 9y agoa few stereotypical assumptions which shocked me only because I'm guilty in most points. Reflecting how the career choice influenced my routines, life and directly my marriage it's clear to me, that being with somebody who understands what you're doing (or at least is interested in it enough to get to a level where you can have a basic conversation about "how my day went") makes things much easier in a relationship. Over the years (and a marriage later) I learned to have hobbies outside software engineering. This me helped to a) expand my social circle, b) have conversations about other things than my job/software c) get less lost in the technical details and learn to step away, resulting in d) better code and engineering skills.
