My interactions were mostly with colleagues&#x2F;employees I selected and hired myself; hardcore geeks. It gave me social-ish interaction without having to talk about scary non-coding things. I have always lived in Europe and outside my group of friends and&#x2F;or colleagues I didn&#x27;t really interact much. And my friends were obviously mostly techie.<p>Edit: it sounds a bit more negative than it was; I was always happy but now that I discovered this whole new thing I am more assured that the happiness will stay as I have a broader base now both emotionally and business wise if that makes sense
