Your emotions are not an anti-pattern
summary
Claim: emotions are decision-making assets not bugs, backed by the somatic marker hypothesis from the Elliot case showing impaired choices when feelings vanish. Evidence includes controlled studies where error message sentiment changes debugging success and a Twitter poll showing only 9.4% enjoy debugging. Practical tools are taught skills from DBT—opposite action and mindfulness—and a four-step emotional first aid for rejected code reviews: pause, identify, gauge proportionality, and plan replenishing actions.
