Cognitive Biases in Software Development

Generative work is not all created equal. Most of programming we all do is like applying physics equations in practice. A tiny portion is truly on the cutting edge, more akin to physics research.

Likewise, a lot more emails and discussion comments and school reports are written, per volume, than masterpiece books.

I'd be willing to bet that

{people who can look at a real world problem, choose an appropriate physics model, and apply the right equations, correctly}

and

{people who can look at a real world problem, choose an appropriate logical model, and apply the right language/frameworks/code, correctly}

are probably really quite similar sets.
