Emotional Decisions Wednesday, November 14, 12
We Rely on Our Emotions We prefer products with higher
ratings, and avoid products with lower ratings. We give high ratings to things we like. Wednesday, November 14, 12
What do we like? We like things that make us
somehow feel good: LEARNING (e.g. TED) USEFUL & HELPFUL (Django’s ORM) FUNNY (reddit) FUN (AC3, HALO 4) Wednesday, November 14, 12
Code can cause emotions When you experience bad code, you
don’t like it. When you write great code, maybe you can even make people feel empowered! Wednesday, November 14, 12
Creating Reality Code translates an idea directly into reality. Wednesday,
November 14, 12
Creating Experiences Create a reality that matters to people: Make
it an EXPERIENCE. Wednesday, November 14, 12

EMOTION Wednesday, November 14, 12
Pseudocode for Emotional States final_state = experience(initial_state) delta = final_state

is itself an experience. Wednesday, November 14, 12
Developers of Experiences Artists Musicians Painters Chefs Engineers Wednesday, November

trigger a delta in their emotional state. Wednesday, November 14, 12
User Feedback The emotional equity spent in the creation process
reflects back to its creators. Wednesday, November 14, 12
Time is Unidirectional Spend your emotional effort carefully: LOVE what
you do. Wednesday, November 14, 12
Passionate Users First Requirement: Passionate Developers Wednesday, November 14, 12
Passionate Developers Create things you believe. Create things you believe
in. Wednesday, November 14, 12
Passion is.. When you do something even if you don’t
get paid for it. When you do something and forget to eat, or forget to sleep. All-consuming: pain is insignificant compared to the thrill. Wednesday, November 14, 12
Go Forth & Experience Joy of Creating Cool Things. Wednesday,
November 14, 12
Questions? Wednesday, November 14, 12
