Was just reminded that the last paper rejection I got included a reviewer comment: "too much psychology for a software engineer audience."

@KingmaYpe that's true....I do think there's a lot of distress overtolerance in tech
@grimalkina @KingmaYpe for sure. Hero culture.

Journal review idea: you come with me to a tech conference and listen to just one hour of my personal hallway track then we'll see what work you think matters!!!!!!!!
@grimalkina I have a wonderful image in my mind of you with a tour guide hat and flag on a stick, showing psychologists around a conference. Half tour guide half David Attenborough maybe.

Feels like it should maybe be a new bio quote
it's absolutely true of me. It's absolutely true.@grimalkina I think software engineers underrate how often they are actually talking about psychology (or human behavioral science more generally). In my experience, it's a pretty significant proportion of the time.

it's absolutely true of me. It's absolutely true.@grimalkina I did a whole PyCon keynote that was 90% psychology (and 10% typesetting history).

@oscarjiminy @mahryekuh @ainmosni those are usually far less psych and far more pseudoscience to be honest. Plenty to blame UX for, and UX isn't psych.

@grimalkina @oscarjiminy @mahryekuh @ainmosni friend worked at a newspaper in customer handling.
they had to do a 3 days course to "learn how to sell". it was by some pseudo science guru who sold "psychology".
the gist was every human is one of 4 animals (whales, sharks, owls, and dolphins).
screenshot of the website machine translated for laughs added. (original german side: https://www.tobias-beck.com/persoenlichkeitstest/)
studies? 0. sources? 0. any empiric approach? nah.
it is "trust me bro" and "customers who trust us".
not the truth prevails here, but what sounds good in some pitch meeting. -
