webdev22037ywhats wrong with smalltalks?
- hi, what do you think about vue.js?
- *bla bla with wtf attitude*
- oh, you work in a grocery store, niiiiiiiice -
It happens to me too at my family. 😂
Sometimes, i don't know what to choose. Provide the solution, or emphatize. -
Sabro3146yI think your "bad" points are the *cause* of you being a programmer, not an effect thereof.

Your profession changes how you think.
Coding did the same for me. Some good, some bad.
The good:
I know which problems in life are worth trying to solve.
And I'm very good at solving those problems.
I can analyse a situation accurately. I don't get emotional and panic.
I can immediately identify logical flaws in people's thinking.
I can identify biases in others and myself.
The bad:
I tend to follow simple instructions to the letter and rarely improvise based on reality.
When my wife tells me her problem I try to solve it instead of empathizing - which is what she really wants.
I haven't developed street smarts or the ability to convince people with anything other than logic - but people are more emotional than logical.
I'm not good at small talk.
