Yes, programmers talk lots more, compared to doctors, carpenters etc. But, why is it a bad thing?

Programming profession, by nature, is changing much faster than say, carpentry. Every day there are new frameworks, languages and technologies popping up, so there is lots to talk about.

Also, programmers work with computers all day - it is easy to blog/tweet etc, when you are on the computer 10-12 hours a day. On the other hand, carpenters need to switch context, go to a computer, login to their blog etc - so many steps before they start typing their post.

I agree sometimes it is way too much noise, but may be it is not as bad as you make it sound?
