Nick Johnstone
I'm passionate about making tools to help people express themselves and better understand the world. I work four days a week at NEC Smart Cities, as a Full Stack Developer and Agile Team Lead. I spent my fifth work day working on Cycle.js, my upcoming downhill skateboarding game, my programming language, or one of my other open source projects. When I'm not doing that, I enjoy riding my bike and skateboards, reading, listening to music, playing games and spending time with my friends.
This talk is about how developing your emotional awareness can help you grow into a more powerful programmer and a better teammate. It's an exploration of the way we use our emotions to guide our coding and a guide to how you can consciously work to improve your emotional and interpersonal skills for the good of your code, your self and your team.
