I somewhat "solved" this problem by marrying a designer. She might not be the one I geek out about code with, but she sure as hell understands and forgives long hours in front of the computer and appreciates when the final product performs well, looks beautiful and is easy to use.

At the end of the day I didn't marry her because of that though. If sharing a single passion would be the key to a successful marriage, I think we'd see whole lot less divorces and many more same-sex marriages.



Congratulations!

Hmmm. Marrying a designer almost makes more sense ... ;)

I hasten to clarify that I think about this as an optimization problem. I don't think it's impossible to be perfectly happy without it.

All of the people I have my closest relationships with are non-technical; manifestly, it works.
