I'm not really trying to call hackers or coders crazy, but in a lot of cases, personality disorders attribute to their dedication to this kind of stuff.Originally Posted by Hsu
Not all of them are like that, of course. I don't want it to seem like I'm saying that, if you're dedicated to writing code, you've got a mental disorder. However, some of the disorders allow them to focus heavily on single tasks, which is obviously a plus when wading through pages of code.
I hope I explained myself well enough - it's hard to put what I'm trying to say into words without sounding like I'm lumping everyone into one catagory.
