Interesting read here if you don't mind spending 5 on it...
http://www.salon.com/2014/05/30/amazon_ ... e_partner/
I'm in the same industry... While I guess I have my nerdy side, I couldn't help but nodding along with every word. Even from college, I was one of the lone few from my class who'd attempt a Thirsty Thursday or well.... anything fun instead of the nightly "LAN-parties".
Since getting into the business it's like a double edged sword... to get ahead, the company and upper management expect you to live and breath what you do, leaving no time for anything else.
Yet, just like the article... you've got to have a life right? You've got to be interesting.
In part I probably found sites like this because 10 years ago I only seemed to know the guys she described. I loved what I did but just didn't identify with that being all there was to life but I didn't know how to break out of it. But this stuff also attracts a lot of guys wishing to meet women but still in that bubble of what they do.
Be it tech or anything else... even though it's not a pickup article... it kinda rings true to what we preach here right? Just stand out from the boring crowd!
