> But is getting better at interacting with people worth the time we could have spent getting better at interacting with computers
I can attribute almost all my freelance work to direct personal relationships. That formed through working on projects together and sharing (many) beers. The secret about the iOS contracting world is that most people are capable of doing the work once they are competent - but if they do not know people who know people at small and big companies - they won't get some contracts. Referrals are huge.
