      No, but, spending hours with your face stuck in a screen, and your head filled with algorithms, cases, and logic makes you: 1) Out of practice socialy. 2) Unable to deal with the illogicity of hamanity. Personally, I am only in it for the money, so I dont give a shit about most of the stuff nerdy copmputer types do. Which means I have a normal social life. Nunc est bibendum

        I'm guessing you're still trying to rationalize your computer time to your wife. There's nothing innately unsocial about programmers. It's simply a matter of time practicing the art of conversation. If you're mated to your chair and don't get out to talk with others, then yes you'll have a problem socially.

        Well, that depends on who the visitor is and who is sending the email. BW

          I think coders generally have weak interpersonal skills, especially compared to developers.

                A coder could be replaced by a trained monkey and, other than for a profusion of banana skins in the vicinity of the PC, no one would notice. A developer can solve real problems.

                      No. Weak interpersonal and social skills are not a prerequisite to be a coder.

                                      Some are, some are not; as you would expect. People who believe in these stereotypes tend to also believe that revenge of the nerds was a documentary. Steve
