This. I used to spend 8+ hours a day coding (yes really) for work then ‘fun’. I often had a hard time around people in real life. It was like my nerves were on high gear and I was awkward and didn’t know when to engage the speech portion of my brain for normal conversation as if I was some observer. After not coding for a decade it’s much better. I can carry a conversation, especially after a beer.

Oh wow that really hits home. What did you switch into? Less technical role or left Software/tech altogether?

Slow migration that just happened over time. I took an architect role that required technical knowledge but about 0% coding. Initially I was disappointed about that but went with it. Eventually I took a pure business role. Along the way I got better with people, still a bit of an introvert but able to fake my way through to an executive role.
Every once in a while I’ll try to code something. I’m able to get by if I want. I get bored with it quick though and it doesn’t bring me the same kind of flow buzz mental stimulation it used to.
I’ve gotta say though, the modern web wtf happened?
