Quick, non-technical question [View all]

[DaveJ]

I've been a computer programmer all my life, but I have never had the opportunity to work with another programmer.

I have always just assumed that after getting my CS degree I would be working in a fun exciting environment with people like me.

Instead I'm the nerd working for jocks. When I try to talk to other techies (actually that's like one time, every few years), they think I'm an idiot too because I do not know how to talk to them either. I have never had anyone with which to bounce coding ideas back and forth. I'm not accepted by any group.

Doesn't this seem a little unusual?
