Hmmm ... with that theory you'd also have to explain the odd concentration of socially inept males in tech. Why are they pooling there? Is it a "low spot" where gravity leaves a puddle? (street cred based on brain-cells instead of muscle and the ability to completely avoid physical interaction sure sounds like a win to a severe introvert).
- untog 13y agoWhy are they pooling there? Is it a "low spot" where gravity leaves a puddle? Kind of, yes. Programming is a decidedly anti-social job in many ways, and suits the socially inept. That's not all a negative thing- it's possible to be successful through your skills alone, and few other jobs provide that path.
