4 Humans are predictably irrational - Dan Ariely

5 severe and systematic errors - Amos Tversky & Daniel Kahneman

7 1. On Being Logical 2. On Bugs and Debugging 3. On Planning Your Work 4. On Others Code 5. On Open Offices 6. On Knowing Your Worth 7. On Assembling a Team

8 On Being Logical Humans aren t great logical thinkers.

9 On Being Logical All P are M. All S are M. Therefore, all S are P. Chapman & Chapman, 1959

10 On Being Logical A 6 J 7 Wason, 1966, 1968

11 On Being Logical But, we get much better about reasoning about concrete examples. 0 Griggs & Cox, 1982

12 On Being Logical Beer 22 Soda 16 Griggs & Cox, 1982

13 On Bugs and Debugging Debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place - Brian Kernighan

14 On Bugs and Debugging We tend to interpret and favor information in a way that confirms our pre-existing beliefs.

15 On Bugs and Debugging 2, 4, 6 Wason 1966, 1968

16 On Bugs and Debugging We even distrust evidence that goes against our prior beliefs.

17 On Bugs and Debugging We have a tendency to be rigid in how we approach a problem.

18 On Bugs and Debugging We sometimes block problem solutions based on past experiences. <

19 On Bugs and Debugging We often have no idea we re going to solve a problem, even thirty seconds before we crack it. Metcalfe 1986; Metcalfe & Weibe. 1987

20 On Bugs and Debugging Breaks are more important than you think. Smith & Blankenship 1989, 1991

21 On Bugs and Debugging Creativity is just about having all the right ingredients. Reisberg, 2007

22 On Others Code Again, we tend to think about problems in fixed ways.

23 On Others Code We prefer things that we have made or assembled ourselves.

24 On Planning Your Work We re bad at making predictions about how much time it will take us to do something.

25 On Planning Your Work We think that bad things are more likely to happen to other people than to us.

26 On Planning Your Work We are often so worried about wasting already invested resources that we don t consider the loss of continuing to invest more. Y

27 On Open Offices We re actually pretty good at filtering out unwanted stimuli

28 On Open Offices I love JavaScript ] I love JavaScript Kitten videos are the best

29 On Open Offices but we re not totally oblivious to it.

30 On Open Offices Selective attention requires both ignoring and paying attention.

31 On Open Offices But what about that juicy conversation happening next to you?

32 On Open Offices Sometimes we re helpless to the processing power of our brain.

33 On Open Offices BLUE PURPLE RED GREEN PURPLE GREEN

34 Citation Design by Amy Lynn Taylor

35 On Knowing Your Worth Relatively unskilled people think they are better at tasks than they actually are. Dunning & Kruger, 1999

36 On Knowing Your Worth We tend to overestimate our own skills and abilities. 0

37 On Knowing Your Worth Skilled people underestimate their abilities and think tasks that are easy for them are easy for others. Dunning & Kruger, 1999

38 On Knowing Your Worth Impostor Syndrome.

39 On Assembling a Team We favor members of our own in-group.

40 On Assembling a Team People have a tendency to attribute situations to others character rather than to external factors.

41 On Assembling a Team People have a tendency to believe that attributes of a group member reflect the entire group.

42 On Assembling a Team

43 On Assembling a Team We rely on examples that come to mind when evaluating something. vvvvvvwv

44 On Assembling a Team We assume things in a group will resemble the prototype for that group, and vice versa. v

45 On Assembling a Team In some cases, we ignore probabilities in favor of focusing on details.
