      You don’t have to be cool. The whole “nerds can’t get women” thing doesn’t apply after your 20s.

      Ummm… excuse me. I think you mean “software engineering isn’t cool.” Which is also completely false. It is cool. It just makes for a shitty topic of conversation when the other person has no idea what you’re talking about.

      But what do I know? I’m a scotch swilling, cigar smoking, reasonably competent DIYer, Dad who would rather go outside or do anything that doesn’t involve a computer in my spare time.

      Oh, And my wife says she thinks I’m cool so I have that going for me.
