I don't have any interest in "coding socially" for the same reason that I don't like attending meet-ups and office parties.
I am dismayed at the fact that what used to be a good choice of a career for nerdy and introverted people, where you could surround yourself by technical problems and be left alone to it - has been high-jacked and turned into yet another social networking competition.
Apparently to have a chance at getting a job nowadays I need to have a github profile, contribute to foss, write a blog and speak at the user groups.
