I think it's not related (Angry vs Focus). Being angry while coding means you're using the wrong tech stack i think. Fix that.

Re: Ask HN: Do you look angry while you work?
#12I have probably looked angry while working because people tell me I look angry in general, probably more so when I'm in focused but it has never stopped anyone from interrupting me while I'm working.
Also mandatory Seinfeld reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kafq7yrKAOQ

#13Yo. The more enthused I am about things the more scary I am to other mammals, apparently. Don't have any real advice to offer: I deal with it by working alone.
Relatable!
Re: Ask HN: Do you look angry while you work?
#14Yes, but only because I am angry.
That's my secret, Captain
Re: Ask HN: Do you look angry while you work?
#15Yes, I'm angry. Stop staring at me asking if I'm okay. I'm commanding lightning to do my bidding.

#16I just look clueless. I am not clueless.

#17I was inspired by a friend who saved hundreds of Webcam selfies of himself at half hour intervals. The face.com API classified the majority as “sad” or “angry”.
Mentioned in my Quantified Self talk here at 1m 15s: https://vimeo.com/42239564#t=1m15s
This led to the development of LifeSlice, which lets anyone do the same, and I now have s as decade of 30-min periodic selfies. Not sure what I’ll do with them all but it’s interesting to see myself age. :)
I don’t look angry, but can confirm that I’m at best expressionless when concentrating at the computer.

#18I have total resting bitch face, folks sometimes ask what in the meeting made me so mad. Really annoying.
