It is one of the more obnoxious traits of the common computer geek to conflate being good with computers with being intelligent. This kind of attitude only serves to turn more people off. So you're really good at what you're interested in, amazing! ... There are just as many "intelligent/dumb" geeks as there are "intelligent/dumb" lawyers/pilots/bankers/et al, they just choose different things to geek out on (ever seen a lawyer geek out over fantasy football stats)?
