Makes sense to me.
I once worked with some computer programmers. I was a graphic artist.
I went to lunch with them a few times. Despite the gulf, I vaguely understood the nature of their banter: abstract, sarcastic, insular, competitive, and judgmental. There was one, a generous soul, who put great effort in responding to the neophyte’s dumb questions. At one point he silenced the others until he could finish.
It was a mental work-out.
That’s what smart people do.
There’s some cool stuff at the site ... especially (for me) recognizing language in a noisy room.
