Your Emotional API
summary
Claims that emotions behave like an emotional API with hardwired endpoints that get overloaded by legacy aliases and that rewriting those aliases improves work and career outcomes. Describes concrete tools: rubber duck debugging for feelings, a feel wheel, a weekly emotional retro, levelled techniques from solo tools to group workshops (p3). Demonstrates refactors — old reactive endpoints become no-ops after guided processing — and reports that the methods reliably reduce emotional spillover and improve focus, empathy, and promotion prospects.
