This is such a tired old cliche! And it is definitely not true for the profession at large. Just look at Steve whom, if I may remind you, was a professional (game) software developer for many years.

Of all the software engineers I know (and I know quite a few, simply because I work in the field), not ONE is socially inept! They all have healthy social lives with lots friends and great families.
