    This story could literally be about 40% of the people I have ever worked with in the tech industry.

Hear, hear. It's a shame that so few adults in the tech industry really get to experience independence or emotional balance outside of their careers. I've always felt pretty well-rounded, but I can think of probably 5-10 guys in my extended friend group alone who've graduated college without doing anything other than video games and programming. No dates, no real hobbies, no physical enjoyments, no emotional or social development...Just screens. It's sad.

It's easy to pick apart a single person and come up with a compelling hypothesis on why they are that way, but I can never figure out why there are so many people like this.
