With so few socially acceptable avenues for processing these emotions, it isn’t uncommon for men to find other ways of managing them. Sometimes we isolate ourselves or disassociate.

I like his ethics point on respecting reader's time - don't publish things that take someone longer to read than they do to write. Also on the code one, though I'm looser on that since I don't understand what my own code does.

When bad things happen, does your mind suddenly go blank?
Do you feel tired?
And just end up not responding?
Your brain might use ‘the freeze response’ in the face of stress.
