Last year I posted here: The best developers have a good social life like a non-developers?[^] And I still find that feeling of not being social is still among the best developers, as this article explains: The Rise of the New Groupthink[^].

That's what I see with some of the best developers, but maybe I'm wrong, if they follow another career would be in the same way.

The best developers have a good social life like a non-developers? I was thinking about this and about my career and I do not think so, programming life requires much study and time every day and consuming. You have to sacrifice many things many times: parties, time with family, time with friends. There was another topic here at The Lounge wondering the best developers are so sad: Frustated programmers (http://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?msg=3896109#xx3896109xx). What do you think?
