Mario Fusco argues that, just like Kahneman and Tversky showed markets aren’t driven by a perfectly logical “Homo Economicus,” software engineers aren’t cold, rational machines either. Our decisions—everything from performance benchmarks (anchoring and availability biases) to tech stacks (pro-innovation and bandwagon effects) and home-grown tools (the not-invented-here syndrome)—are all filtered through human quirks.
In his talk, Fusco’ll dig into these five-decades-worth of heuristics—anchoring, availability, framing, bandwagon and more—and show how they quietly shape the quality of our code and the way we solve problems.
