> I still can't believe that a field this dynamic and intellectually challenging is so devoid of... personality and wit?

The stereotypes, as usual, do seem to have some truth behind them.

I've lived with, worked with and hired engineers who behaved like machines, treated conversation and pleasantries as a waste of time, and some who existed in their own subculture. Perhaps they were full of personality and wit in their subculture, but in my experience... no.

This is Europe too.
