As it turns out, Google engineers maybe don&#x27;t work with people, but they sure work with a lot of other Google engineers ;) The idea that software engineering is a solitary activity done in a cave by antisocial hermits is at least 20 years out of date - so let&#x27;s let it go.<p>But that aside - your reply has nothing to do with what the studies I shared demonstrated: Emotional awareness is teachable. Your idea that it isn&#x27;t seems entirely based on your personal assumptions. (If you have actual evidence, please share)<p>As for &quot;emotional honesty&quot; - that&#x27;s pretty much the same as honesty, no? There&#x27;s no emotional component to it.
