#Myth4: You’ll Never Fit Into The ‘Nerdy’ Culture
Another belief on coders is they are ‘nerds’. Big glasses, routine clothes, continuous work describe them. This is irrational. The nature of the coder solely depends on the kind of person he is, his personality, interests and behavior. No software programming school on earth only qualifies nerds in their organization. Coders are ‘nerdy’ is an old school belief that stands untrue today.




#Myth5: You’ll Never Interact With Another Human Being
Another stereotype about coding is, that one needs to spend long working hours in complete solitude with the computer. This is wrong. It’s true that coders spend maximum time with computers but post work; they can interact with whomever they want. Developers in many offices spend the extra hours together chatting or talking casually. These out of work discussions might be the root of next invention by that software company.
