RailsConf 2023 - Hacking Your Emotional API by John Sawers

Feelings are messy and uncomfortable, so why can't we just ignore them? Because emotional skills are critical for working well on a team, and for the quality of our work. In this talk you’ll learn how emotions are affecting you by modeling them as an API and looking at the code. I cover how poor handling of emotions impacts cognition, memory, and communication. Then I dive into my toolkit for handling emotions, full of practical advice and new ways of thinking.
