Ward Cunningham Interview
Check out the Ward Cunningham interview on The ServerSide.net. I identify somewhat with the following quote:
I do know that a lot of times if the programmer gets good, while he is getting good, he learns that most people do not understand what he does. So that's really separating for programmers. Programmers are kind of driven apart by that realization that they are dealing with things that most people do not understand, and after a while they give up trying to communicate. They say "Just stop bothering me, let me think."The context related to pair programming and its best to hear the whole interview to get his intended meaning. There's another recent Ward interview over here (via Blogarithms).
