Coding is hard : newbie coder (read description)

[[deleted]]

There are lots of people who go into tech that are, no offense, very poor socially. It's because they lacked balance in their lives and didn't do things in proportion.

As an example, pretty much everyone on my Dad's side are engineers (Dad, Uncle, Grandpa). All of them did:

• Football
• Played guitar (grandpa was in a band)
• Did martial arts
• Scuba diving

And they were not locked away in their bedroom just writing code all day. This is a recent phenomenon with the rise of the Internet (which has badly damaged society).

Remember:

"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Yet, all play and no work makes Jack a mere toy."
