I disagree. I have long hair and a beard. Customers tend to dislike that(and they say people don't discriminate). The company therefore have a not so good programmer but very good with comunication dealing with the customers. All interviews are recorded via dictaphone so I know what happened and Customers can email me directly. I am not saying I am a great programer I am just saying that a great programmer do not need to interact with clients. I believe without the limitaions that general employment give you you should be able to experiment more and hense be able to further yourself more making you a better programmer. When I get home after a particularly bad day I do not want to see a computer let alone learn a new thing about it.

One of my fellow student kept playing Spider solitair in class. And this distracted me and the other students. So I changed the Solitaire links in his pc to run the shutdown command. He soon stopped playing solitair in class. Maybe if he was paying attention he could figure out what was happening :laugh:
