“The odds are very good, but many of the goods are very odd”

----quote from a lady entrepreneur about dating in the tech world.

Software developers and hardware engineers:

Are in high demand

Have trouble maintaining long-term relationships (work or personal)

Want to make a difference ("a dent in the universe”)

Require very special attention from management:

staff at even the largest tech firms expect their bosses to appear frequently in person or by video link, to be grilled about everything from corporate strategy to the quality of the office coffee

Normally it's better to be the boss. In tech, like in Hollywood and pro sports, the elite talent has the upper hand.
