Hm, interesting. This seems like a "Spock vs. Bones" type of worldview, although I would have never guessed that I would side with Bones (age, probably?). Yeah

Yeah, perhaps if you want fully rational discussion, then emotions are counterproductive. But should that mean we should have this sterile environment without any passion? And does showing a passion really means aggression? I just don't think so.
- grandalf 12y agoThat depends, personally I prefer to have a rational discussion about technology decisions. Sure we inevitably feel some emotion when we care about our work... but: - Sometimes one person's emotion turns into bluster that can be unwittingly intimidating to others. - Emotions should be an input into a meta-rational process, not something that can override it. - The goal here is getting the most buy-in and problem solving out of a group of people. In my experience going into a decision with eyes open about the tradeoffs is always a good thing.
