Unless you are a minority in the field in which case your success apparently requires tolerating disproportionate abuse from your socially inept peers. Hardly the meritocratic environment we like to imagine here.
Kind of, yes. Programming is a decidedly anti-social job in many ways, and suits the socially inept.
That's not all a negative thing- it's possible to be successful through your skills alone, and few other jobs provide that path.
