This is still pretty early. Most notably we are missing validation and surfacing error messages.

My psychologist friend recommended Freud's 1923 paper on "Id and the ego".
Wikipedia's exegesis about the paper [1] was easier to understand than the article on the topic [2]. But still not useful or even very meaningful to me.
However I discovered that what I am interested in seems to be called "human behaviour" or "behavioural science" rather than "psychology".

I am a software engineer and team...
