the programmer syndrome

Sep 13, 2023

Programmers over-index on solutions (availability bias)

at every encounter in life your first reaction is:

  • i could build x or y that would be cool

basically a kind of Availability bias that makes you think a lot about solutions and then figure out there that you don’t know clearly what you’re doing, if you are even trying to solve a problem or just playing/wasting your time

so solutions comes easily to your mind and overwhelm your mind

070923 95813 the human mind is an extremely hackable software so the trick is to do a build fasting

so that solutions comes less easily to ur mind

other tricks can be to force yourself doing hard things , ie things u dont usually do or are bad at, like doing tiktok videos for me is extremely hard, 1 hour takes 24 hour energy, and every time i see the feed my life expectancy go down 5 years
