If by some chance a programmer is a budding socialite, there is a good chance he/she isn't that great of a programmer. I strongly disagree. I know plenty of uber-social hackers who are good at compartmentalizing code and "being in the zone". They show up at a party and instantly the tech-speak is gone, and pop culture references and empathy turn on. So let's not box us all into this good programmer-vs.-socialite binary.
