I don’t want to over-generalize on this. That’s part of my weakness, I’m such an opinionated person in some topics that it almost sounds as if there’s no room for debate. Not the case =)

I know CS guys like Max Levchin who can get up in front of a crowd of people and communicate really effectively. There are always outliers, but I usually try and consider the people I know at school as an example (as opposed to sticking with the common stereotypes).

A lot of CS guys I know spend time away from their monitor, but they don’t really go out and mingle with people they don’t know. It can become very clique’y, to the point where they hang out with their other CS buddies and talk about Linux kernels and distributions all day

Not a thing wrong with that. But I do think it makes a strong case for saying many CS people may find it difficult to relate to my article.
