emotional intelligence · technology metaphors

Your emotions have source code.

I translate what you feel into a language you already understand: systems, processes, logic. So you understand yourself, don't feel alone, and know where to start.

Here you learn to understand what you feel with clear examples from everyday life and technology. You don't need to know anything about computers to follow along.

The Emotional Operating System

Like any system, yours runs on a : the base processes all the others depend on. On top of it you install — secondary emotions, more complex, that inherit from the core.

// kernel.emo
kernel {
joy, sadness,
fear, anger,
surprise, disgust
}
import plug-ins;

In other words: your 6 basic emotions (the core) and the ones born from them (the add-ons).

plug-inNostalgiaextends sadness + joy
plug-inGuiltextends sadness + fear
plug-inEnvyextends sadness + anger
plug-inCompassionextends sadness + empathy
plug-inShameextends fear + sadness

04 · where I speak from

I speak from what I've lived, not from a diploma.

I'm not a psychologist or a guru. I'm someone who felt a lot, got lost, and slowly learned to understand himself. I share that path in case it helps you too.

experience
I don't have a degree in psychology. I have years of living, of stumbling and learning to understand myself. I write from there, not from a pedestal.
community
Every now and then someone writes to tell me what resonated with them. I hope there'll be more of us: I don't know it all, we build it together.
honesty
No selling miracles or calendar quotes. I only share what has really helped me.

From programmer to emotional educator

I'm Jordi Podeschva. I learned to code in the middle of the pandemic looking for stability — and I ran into my own emotional system without even looking for it. EmotionsDev was born from that: not as theory, but as a real process.
