Think you’re a logical coding machine? Think again! Just like in behavioral economics, our brains sabotage us in software engineering. From the anchoring and availability biases messing with benchmarks to bandwagon and pro-innovation hype chasing, and even crafting our own tools thanks to the not-invented-here syndrome, our decisions are anything but rational.
In this talk Mario Fusco dives into fifty years of behavioral research, showing how heuristics like the framing effect and other mental shortcuts shape the way we estimate, pick tech, and ultimately impact the quality of our code. Get ready to spot these mental traps and level up your dev game!
