Having "no life" is missing out on the kinds in relationships which take 
hours and hours to develop - is not being able to keep commitments you 
*wan't* to keep - is failing to progress in your personal goals outside 
of one non-social area of interest.

I'm a little compulsive, so I've been there myself (most have, I'm 
sure), and would be very wary of entering an occupation which led me 
into that kind of dark corner. Too many in my generation (I'm 35) have. 
We were told as children than programmers would be as respected and 
wealthy as doctors. Some can treat computer-work like any other career, 
but many get caught up with gaming, chatrooms, internet, learning new 
languages, etc..
