Nerdier programmers should spend less time talking among themselves about Redis, NodeJS and Angular at those bars and more time talking to women that are there about something other than nerdy stuff. One would be amazed how far even cursory knowledge of different topics, current events, food, wine and general happenings in the city goes to establish that the biggest nerds are quirky rather than dull. Quirky people get laid. Dull people don't.
- WalterBright 6y agoConversations about food and wine bore me.

- WalterBright 6y agoThe point is both parties need to try and find a mutually interesting topic. There's nothing inherently superior or interesting about being a foodie.
- notyourday 6y agoThe point is that being a techie does not get techies laid, while being a foodie does get foodies laid. So unless you are someone who likes your steak shoe leather dry and eggs overcooked, you are probably a foodie.
