Glad I figured out that Texas is an hour ahead of Toronto on the day of my talk. Better than figuring it out after...

Lol, nvm, it's an hour behind!
I disagree with a point of the recent @ThinkingElixir episode, which advises to push emotion out of interactions in software development. Intention is not being a jerk to maintainers, which is good. But I don't think ignoring the existence/experience of emotions is right.

I think the more mature approach to emotions in general is to acknowledge them, consider where they are coming from, consider where they are affecting one's behavior / tone / interactions, and act considerately. IMO that is very different from trying to remove emotion.

To be clear, I agree with the overall spirit of the episode. My slight disagreement is on that one tactic, of trying to remove emotions in interactions. Instead, they should be acknowledged and analyzed and nurtured, and turned into something progressive. Even if that's harder.

My proposed @ElixirConf talk was accepted for the virtual portion of the conference. My topic is "How to get involved with the Elixir community". I am not an expert in this topic, but I will be conducting interviews around the community in preparation. You have been warned!
