How Do Cognitive Biases Work?  

I do something similar. Whenever I do something stupid I say to myself "Guess I wasn't thinking with a full carton of eggs". It's a quote from Trailer Park boys. It's always calms me down.

who snaked you?

What species of snake

Yeah, don't ignore snakes.

I'm assuming you mean evil people and not legless reptiles

well ermmm THAT just happened! 😅

Youre changing your strengthening

You're strengthening your change.

imposter syndrome, more like dunning kreuger syndrome amirite because everyone thought they knew it all until they dont

The important thing is that you understand what each tool does. Not how they work. Do most understand how their car works? No, but they know how to use it, and thats the important part.

I'm an old programmer. A few tips: (1) Learn to touch type. (2) Learn an editor well enough to use without a mouse or looking away from the text. (3) Prefer top-down over bottom-up (there are exceptions). Getting something sort-of-working with stubs right-away will help with both motivation and understanding. (4) Explain the problem to someone, even if the someone is imaginary: I can't count the number of times I've explained something to someone who has no idea what I'm talking about, when I suddenly "see the light". #1 and #2 take a lot of effort and don't directly touch on programming, but it helps *so* much not having to take your eyes off the screen and your mind off the task to hunt-and-peck or switch between keyboard and mouse. Programming is hard enough without the task switching.

@@wh44 none of those except 4 are essential for programming since theyre essentially just minmax strategies

​Number 3 is also one of the main principles of agile ​@@kani-licious also look up "the cult of done"

The whole episode is great too!

It's one of the better episodes, maybe because I relate to how pirate thinks? But this was one of the most insightful and entertaining episodes

at first I thought he was just reacting to Dr K footage, until they both spoke

Best part is finding out that Thor is accidently a monk.

Thor and is such a cool guy already this made him so much cooler

You think it was any different in the past? Like stress only now started existing? Stress is all you. No one person goes by even a few days without stressful events happening. It all comes down to whether you’re gonna let those events stress you out.

Yeah I agree with you, I didn't understand what K meant by that our perception got weak?

Your lens focusing on punishing others instead of regulating self is your entire problem

you can want to avoid traps whether or not you actually catch the trap-maker. being willing to fall into traps just because you won't ever catch the ones setting them seems silly

If it's so exhausting, then you should take a break from the internet -- which honestly would do us all a world of good. I know I could use some Vitamin Sun.

yeah if you do it everyday to everything you just break. humans will always need to have some basic things that are solid and bring some sense of reality and known.

@@paulogaspar8295, nonsense. A huge chunk of Millennials understood not to trust a single thing on the internet throughout the 2000s. Common pranks were based around bricking machines and sending people to see grotesque and violent imagery like graphic depictions of real peoples' heads being cut off by actual real terrorists. If you asked for video game help, someone would trick you into turning your game off by accident without saving. That's just the basics of how the internet used to work. The fact that people don't even understand torrents anymore is mindblowing to me.

Thor is a game dev streamer who develops his game really slowly because he spends a significant chunk of time retelling stories to all the new people who keep showing up in his Twitch chat from RU-vid. :D

@@h3lblad3The biggest procrastinator.

Funny, but really not helpful to anyone. Dr K's example has nothing to do with idiots, it's about trying not to take the worst possible interpretation of a negative event

@@roxaszy984 It's called reframing - after the thought, sometimes much later. As you practice it more, then it becomes easier and faster. Mental fitness is a continuous process, just like physical fitness - lifelong.

Pretty close.

actually close

well he was hacking some nuclear stuff so… You ‘re kinda close

I know at least one person thought this when Jesus performed the Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes

Magi carp?

5 years later from what? This podcast was done like a few weeks ago right

... .... ..... ...... I'm going to HR.

You need a hug buddy?
