Yeah, I'll say this. Writing code for all these years has taught me a lot about myself. Both good and bad things.

I do think we humans like to simplify things a bit more than they should be. Its just neat and clean to do so. I'm not as good at math as many programmers I know but I have more artistic leanings than many. I'm also more comfortable communicating and with relational things. I've led teams and while everyone on the team had certain common traits and ways of thinking there is still diversity and it made those teams stronger.

I find it fascinating to observe these things. When you get a group of driven smart people focused on a central goal its pretty gratifying to work together.
