I'd say about 70-80% of the engineers I know in the Bay Area, including me.

Re: Why you should never be a startup girlfriend
#17There's something about lists like this that bother me. I know it shouldn't -- it's meant to be light and humorous. I think what bothers me is that the person she describes is really, godawful boring.
The line that stands out for me: "If you want to understand your boyfriend, understand computers. It’s not that difficult."
I...I just don't know. I'm an engineer at an early-stage startup and computers are a big part of my life, but I certainly hope they're not the best way for my girlfriend to understand me.
I'm not ribbing the article. It's cute. But when I read it I cringe and maybe worry a little bit that I actually am like that.
I'd also feel terrible if I treated my girlfriend like that.

Ah. Don't make me break out the Tennyson. "'tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all." Sorry, I had to!
"'tis better to have loved and lost 5 times, than never to have loved at all." Is this version true too?
Serial monogamy is de rigueur these days, no?

Yeah, you need to iterate to refine the process.
