okay welcome to the last full session of Ruby comp 2014 and welcome to the quiet programmer i am mark mcspadden creatively you can find me at mark mcspadden on the twitters and the github and the internet i'm from dallas texas and for several years i ran

the local ruby group there Dallas Ruby Brigade you can find them at Dallas Ruby for the last two years I've run a conference there called big Ruby what we do is we bring together people that are using Ruby in large environments with large teams that care

about performance and scale and we put on a two-day conference to kind of share stories around that we've done that for the last two years and we'll be looking to make an announcement in the next few weeks about what our plans are for 2015 I work at

Sabre and since I've already answered this several times this week we don't make printers what we do is that we provide software services to the travel industry both for travel agents airlines and hotels and on the traveler facing side through travelocity

I run our labs team there which I work with that some really really talented people and we research trends and technology that we think will become important to travel over the next three to five years at home I'm a husband and a dad of three girls the

youngest of which is just over two months yes I left a two-month-old at home to come to San Diego for four days it's been nice to sleep but this talk is not about me well actually it kind of is about me but it's about us at least it's about some

of us actually it's about a lot of us this talk is about the intersection of two sets one software developers and introverts and this is this is important because an estimated fifty percent of the US population is introverted and that's reported by

myers-briggs who does the personality tests for people a lot of people in this room we've probably done some kind of myers-briggs personality test fifty percent of the US population is introverted that's like close to half now this is surprising to

most people because people have this idea in their mind of what an introvert is and they can't imagine that half of the people that they know are actually introverted and when I talk about this picture of what an introvert is I've got a pretty good

idea of this because researching for this talk I've seen a lot of pictures associated with articles of introverts and I can tell you that the picture of an introvert includes a lot of wool sweaters it also includes hot chocolate and lots of books so this

is the picture of an introvert as the internet portrays it and this kind of scares me because I feel like half of the u.s. is stuck in some kind of infinite winter and that's not like a metaphor that's like real like if we could just get an introvert

out to San Diego or show a picture of one in flip-flops like maybe this would be progress but this is nothing new to introverts introverts have a history of being misunderstood and even being misunderstood by the professionals of that spend their lives studying

psychology so we're going to do a quick history of introverts and extroverts 101 we're going to start in the 1920s not that long ago CG Jung is the person who popularized these terms introvert and extrovert and his idea was centered around the flow

of mental energy so extroverts have mental energy that flows outward and introverts have mental energy that flows back in and this is actually not that bad a definition of an introvert and extrovert in fact if you're an introvert this might resonate with

you fairly well compared to some other definitions you might have seen the problem with this definition is that the measure of mental energy and it's directional flow is not quite a science and this makes it hard to adopt in the study of the mind so inevitably

this definition is going to have to change and the next contributor to it is Heinz async and somewhere on the 1950s and he creates this model of personality that's based on three things one of which is extraversion and he's the first to really introduce

this idea of personal interaction as part of this and what he does is says that there are some some sub traits of extraversion that you can look forward to determine how extroverted somebody is and he gets specific about these substrates and it's not good

for introverts an extra veggies finds a stable mature integrated good character unemotional and dominant an introvert on the other hand is persistent which is not bad cautious okay skits a tine I think I'm doing that right diseño thymic melancholic and

de surgent you don't even have to know what all the rest of those words means to know they're not as good as the list above it I did look these up they're not good to surgent isn't even a word anymore that's how bad it was we were like
