I know you’re downvoted, but I agree with this 100%. Technical folk usually are fascinating people but more often than not (in my experience) are introverted.

Technical folk usually are fascinating people but more often than not (in my experience) are introverted. It’s a shame, because as an extroverted passionate engineer, it’s amazing to see, build and play with abstractions above software. Stepping outside your bubble in a not-timid way provides access to this.
- wjossey 7y agoI can't speak for the downvoters, but I don't think people are implying "Don't step outside your bubble in a not-timid way", but rather, "There's probably a better way to phrase this question in a way that's less likely to be misinterpreted." So, I 100% also agree with the sentiment! Ask people what they do. Be curious. Learn from others (that's why we're all on HN right?)! Try to step outside your comfort zone when you can. Good things will happen more often than not. Just, be mindful of how you phrase questions. That's my primary point.
