Very good point. According to some theory, people do things they like and the things they like usually tend to be in the direction that makes them stronger, increases their chances of survival and reproduction, etc. So all techie's see a lot of hope and money so they do programming like crazy. People who can't program, usually don't go that way, get bored, go out, get laid. If it decreases our chance of getting laid, this thing cannot be that good no matter how cool/fun it is. Yeah this is a geek site, but so many comments are enough to show that this is a big problem. Most people complain about the number of female classmates. Some people oppose this by suggesting that they should go out and meet people from other departments. They are missing two points: 1) these guys (or a few girls) are not the "sociable" kind. Going to parties would be the last thing they would think of, so they are heavily relying on classmates for anything 2) even after graduation they are so much lagging behind in social issues (e.g., being 27 and virgin) that they need extreme help for every single thing. This is unfortunately a stable state. The more you work, the further you will be lagging and the more time you will have to work even more. Good luck to you all. I will DEFINITELY not work for a Silicon Valley company. I don't need that kind of money.

Good observation. After all, what makes sex "viable" is the fact that "there's not any better thing to do".
People who don't code, don't have so much fun stuff to do. Why do you think they are partying, hanging out at places for hours, talk to everybody ?
You gotta slow down coding and let your brain get bored. You are missing a quite fun stuff
