I don't understand this. You make it sound as if other trades and professions are about getting invited to parties.

  Other professions arent as technical, and focus more on creating human connections rather than abstract connections.

    - Accounting? - Finance? - Law? I dunno, I think this notion that software development is uniquely technical is pretty misguided.

      This is really right on the mark. Real accounting involving trusts, tax shelters involving various corporate structures, the intricate tax code knowledge required to understand and take advantage of loopholes is quite technical. Having been exposed to what it takes to do this level of accounting via direct conversations with someone who does this, they can't wait to move on from it. It's not a good fit for their personality. It really is a back office type of work that can get quite lonely.
