This post is wonderful! Surprisingly straightforward, well-written, and with just the right amount of charm. I think it will ring true to anyone who's spent a lot of time around mathematicians.
Oh, and this is hilarious:
What is the difference between an extroverted mathematician and an introverted one? The extroverted one looks at your shoes, rather than at his own shoes.
It's unfair to single that quote out, though, because this isn't a joke article.

- gruseom 16y agoYes, the no-fluff straightforwardness of the piece is surprising only by the ordinary standard of linkbaity titles and so on... i.e. only by comparison to nearly everything. But not at all surprising once you get who the author is.
