What this episode covers

Alexander Serebrenik gives us an overview of his exciting research on emotions and social aspects of software engineering. We also talk about: social aspects of software engineering, what software productivity has to do with your emotions and how you feel, problems such as confusion or frustration in code reviews, how to give respectful, yet candid code review feedback, and how ageism, sexism, and more lead to negative consequences such as drug abuse in software engineering.
