Yelling isn't great, but in high-stress situations, it can happen. What I take away from the "4 or 5 times in 13 years" is that it shows that the yelling was probably meaningful. I suspect Steve was reacting authentically rather than being a constant yeller. Ironically, I suspect he yelled because he cared. I'd rather work for someone like that than places where people don't yell because either they don't care, or they're passive aggressive.

This presentation format was terrible, which is a shame with so much interesting data to present. Kudos to the data research, but please consider re-publishing in a sane format.
