    Movies always show engineers and tech programmers as being young asocial nerds. We’re not all young.

      We’re also not all asocial, I mean, I am, but I’ve met programmers who are extremely social.

          It’s the mind set/skills and the hobbies you choose. As one of my competition body builder coworkers puts it…he nerds out on his own body. There is a lot of tracking and planning for body building. Not unlike several other nerdy hobbies.

          The same problem solving skillset I use with computers helps me with cars…so I work on cars in my free time. Car issues and computer issues are usually diagnosed similarly. It could be any one of a number of things causing your problem. Test and verify…
