Not sure how anyone would back up this. I manage managers so see this first hand. I think you're creating a false dichotomy between talkytalky and coding. Good

Not sure how anyone would back up this. I manage managers so see this first hand. I think you're creating a false dichotomy between talkytalky and coding. Good developers will code and be professional at the same time. How do you know that the niche tech guys that you know are "getting work done"? They're doing this.
This is not about spending time chatting up people all around the office and networking. It's about responding clearly when people ask you questions, when you have your 1:1 with your manager, and in how you write your emails, etc.
- tluyben2 6y agoIn your experience; mine is different. That does not matter; you were explaining in the parent comment that if you ‘do not do this you should earn less’; I am saying and living through for the last 30 years that people who do not do that make more. So just giving a counter example that your rules might not be holy ones. We can both be right: could be a culture thing or different circles (I work with embedded devs who make the big bucks and do not generally communicate well (the ones I know!); it distracts from work).
