I feel like this is a myth we should actively work to squash. The vast majority of engineers and coders are 30/40-somethings with normal social lives, families, and working 9-5 weekdays.
- angersock 12y agoQuite true--and yet, look at the companies making the news. Hell, in many cases your motion-planning is being done by people who were graduate students, and even then the stereotype...well, it fits, you know?
- FatalError 12y agoAnd even if they were, surely this is only a bad thing in that it might indicate that some potentially good engineers had been excluded from the workforce. Is reverse-bigotry really so far gone that some people genuinely think that being an "antisocial 20-something" makes a person a worse engineer?
- dagw 12y agoOne of the key factors in becoming a good engineer is experience. a 20-something, antisocial or otherwise, basically by definition is lacking in this experience. Sure they may be really really smart and write incredibly clever code, but it takes more than that to be a good engineer.
