17 What I meant is that I do not consider eloquent and diplomatic
18 behavior as "kind" in any way. At best it is "polite".

40 That's why I explained what I meant in more detail. It's not about
41 establishing a happy environment, but a professionel environment. We
42 are not primarily devs to have fun alltogether and make friends and
43 buddies.
44 Ofc, if that comes with our work, then it's fine.

55 In many professional environments yelling is the most efficient way to
56 prevent mistakes from happening again. It still does not imply insults
57 or disrespecting another person.
58 It's about making a lot of noise if something bad happened. And making
59 NO noise if nothing bad happened.
60 The latter is quite important too.
61
62 In the end it still does affect thousands(?) of users if we do stupid
63 things.
