I deal far more with people than with computers in my day to day work.
I hire people who know how to deal with people well. I don't hire
"programmers", I hire intelligent, enthusiastic people with good
communication skills, who have be trained or learned to program.
And one of those "anti-social engineer types with no people skills".
I suspect most physicians' assistants have to deal with computers
a fair bit these days, too.
Nobody should be pigeonholed, including "programmers".
