Losing people skills. Not running into many women in your place of work. Your group of friends consisting of mostly (programming) men, who struggle to meet or even talk to women.
- amar-laksh 5y agoI've found talking to myself out loud while coding kinda helps with that.
- gibbonsrcool 5y agoThis hit close to home. I don't think it's exclusive to programmers. I think this is happening in all industries, we just see it to a greater degree. Everyone's aware of polarization in politics, but I think it's happening to race, gender, and any other culturally distinct segment of humanity. With all this increased connectedness, we're distilling into groups that are like-minded, politically and otherwise. I went to an all boys school. I believe it was terrible for social development and made it hard to relate to women. When I see that same-sex education is on the rise I feel we're making a big mistake.
