I think you and the article disagree about what "deep, meaningful human connection" means. I don't want to quibble about definitions so I'll just share my experience with circling (one form of authentic relating). In cir

I've worked with old programmers who are great and old programmers who suck. Most of the points in the article are obviously wrong. "Anyone who is still a programmer in their 40s has to have developed some good communication skill
