It's simple, the more time you spend programming, the less time you'll have for socializing and the more time you spend socializing, the less you'll have to improve your programming.

Where you spend your time is what you get good at.

Totally agree.

Especially at the beginning, programming skills need time and constant dedication in order to be developed.

A busy social life may preclude this necessary initial time investment by beginners.
