Comment Art vs Science (Score 2, Interesting) 579
In my opinion real software developers are more like artists than (computer) scientists.
If you look at artists for all the disciplines, you'll find that almost all of them could fit the concept of weirdness.
For the good and the bad.
Divergent thinkers are very often at the base of new (software) solutions to old problems or for a fresh new breakthrough..
So, yes, very likely developers look weird when compared to anyone else.
