tech industry HR looking desperately for highly skilled innovator devs but also requiring them to be emotionally mature extraverted team players with unyielding self-esteem

@mia choose 1 I guess

and world-changing tech innovations often came from introverted weirdoes but we only found out about it decades later because they didn’t want people to know about their gender quirks or their achievements were instead attributed to businesspeople

@stefan it’s possible to eventually have both but it has to be nurtured ime

because computer touching is less of an innate skill than it is a reaction to a world that only offers rejection

@mia true. I mean I have to say work actually told me some social skills which is very useful. Also had time to reflect on myself and learn stuff on what I need in a team, what I can offer.

But thats something that took time for and still is not easy all the time still.

But ye touching computers is easy.
