If we were to generalize and put nerds into three broad categories- 1. Lower-case 'n' nerds for whom coding is as much of a day job as it possibly can be and lead rewarding and socially active lives away from their computers. 2. Nerds who are completely immersed in what they do because they find it to be rewarding in and of itself. 3. Nerds who are completely immersed in what they do because they aren't very good at anything else, and are bitter that being good at what they do isn't really socially rewarding. I think most of our problems come from group #3.
