Yes, thank you. Though not in the IT business, I completely understand
the frustrations of constant distractions in the work place,
disparagement for those who have the ability to focus deeply and being
resented for not accommodating meetings where every stupid idea is given
equal attention. Who does understand the nutty standards of social
interactions that are based on nothing more than 'you have to be cool
because of the clothes you wear' or the pop culture things you
advocate.' I'm not sure we have as many Aspergers people in the IT
sector as this article suggests. I do think many IT people think for
themselves and do not necessarily buy into an extrovert view of the
world. A view that says whatever happens we have to remain a group and
adjust our thinking to fit group think. Is it possible that many IT
people are just very bright people who don't tolerate fools readily? Is
it possible they'd rather focus on the integrity of systems then the
chaos of social interaction?
You caught me on a bad day. :-)
