I agree, but there's a certain line that a good software engineer should not cross and that's where their improved social skills make local gf attainment feasible, because then they'll start devoting their time to other things.

In my case I can already see my increased HN karma pulling me away from our tablegen spec. With a gf I'd be useless.

Are you implying that being able to have an intimate relationship with another human being disqualifies someone from being a "good software engineer"?

[etagobla]

It's not an absolute one to one relationship. I'm talking about general trends.

Some people downvoting you may be lacking skills to detect that this, even if partly true, is a joke. For me it was good.
