engineers haveing low charisma is the reason why the technical writer job exists(a realistic way to use a language/writing degree, but requires some basic technical knowledge), and part of the the reason why engineering textbooks not directly written by the engineer at times have errors (as the technical writer may have grasped some statement wrong, and would usually not be aware if some information was a mistake or not)
And engineers specifically cultivate that. If you ever recommend they try to develop their “soft skills,” watch out
As an engineer, I’m an extrovert around other nerds (of various stripes) and an introvert around others. I mean what are we going to talk about? How you took 8 hours to make a PowerPoint for your new ad slogan? Politics? Gross. Better to stay in my own head at that point.
I wonder how you’d react if we insisted you improve your technical skills.
Can we call them “hard skills”?
My company already pays for my certs 😜
He just kind of "case-in-point"ed you huh
WTF was that sentence. Damn I also need to work on my soft skills.
Ah, so you have a pile of virtual paper and still no technical skills.
I swear i saw this same post and the same comment on lemmy .
I thought it sounded a bit familiar, but I couldn’t place it. It’s probably not a unique thought for anyone who has interacted with engineers or any smart people who are also on the spectrum.
It’s just been here a few days ago.
Ah damn, my bad. I post in that community too, but I must have missed that one. I’m just relieved that I wasn’t the one who posted it and forgot…
Well, considering your post frequency, I’ll vote we let it slide.
no, thank you TPM for always giving us content.
