#047 - Take the emotion out

This week we talk about how to control your emotions specially when responding to heated situations, code reviews, feedback, etc.

Some practical tips:
- Ask (keep in mind) what problem are we trying to solve?
- Don't reply to email directly, let your response marinate and/or review by somebody. Writing them in an editor might also help (be safer).
- Choose the right medium, e.g.  a short meeting can be way more effective (also email = text != tone)
- Take a breath first before speaking up, 2 extra seconds can change your response (good example: kids!)
- Harsh code review? Acknowledge where the other person is coming from and recognize that there is always more to learn. Any feedback will sharpen you!
