I always say, "technical community" is equal parts technical and equal parts community.
"The idea that discussions can be “purely technical”, i.e. devoid of emotional content, is bogus. If we care at any level about what we’re discussing, then our emotions are going to play a role" I cannot express how much I agree with thishttps://twitter.com/aaron_turon/status/1003028262967111680 …

in my view there is an underlying illusion, "purely technical" is by no means objective, I believe there is nothing objective outside mathematics, where you can prove things right or wrong, there are always personal POVs/trade-offs in a "purely technical discussion" => emotions

That isn't necessarily true. Maybe you have reasons to discuss a topic other than caring for it. For example, you may know a lot about X, don't care about X any more, but it's your job to talk about it.

In fact, I'd say this is one of the boundaries one must pass in order to be a senior engineer. Junior engineers always get hyped up by stuff. Seniors just don't care, as long as stuff works.
