it's absolutely true of me. It's absolutely true.@grimalkina oh lord

Literally have to teach myself new little tech things just to give my mind a BREAK from being a psychologist
Tolerance can also be an inability to recognise.

it's absolutely true of me. It's absolutely true.@grimalkina As a Software Engineer I am offended, I've already had to be confused by networking, FinTech and genetics in my career, why should I be denied being confused by psychology, too?

@KingmaYpe that's true....I do think there's a lot of distress overtolerance in tech

@grimalkina Imagine if we had more psychology in software engineering… that would solve so many issues.
One of the problems that would be solved is website usability, as that requires some knowledge of the human mind.
I recently wrote about that in this article:

@mahryekuh @grimalkina You say that, but there’s a lot is psychology in certain game companies and it’s used for a lot of evil.

@ainmosni @grimalkina Do you mean addictive patterns?
Because I didn't even think about that, but that's definitely a real problem.
Same with addictive social media timelines.
Guess Big Tech is better at using psychology for evil than for good?

@chemoelectric backalley open access preprints you can quietly give your friends is where my best work is, truly. I think the highest quality work and writing I've done is contained in these preprints

I suppose I spent many years thinking software dev was pure tech. I was quite mistaken .... and still prefer the tech bits. -

@grimalkina In fundamental physics you cannot find quality stuff at all in the ‘elite’ journals. There they publish only utter nonsense.
(I’m not a physicist, thank goodness. A retired computer programmer with an engineering education, but who dabbles in a few physics topics without publishing except from a soapbox. But I do subscribe to the ACM Digital Library!)

@grimalkina I write code. I lace my code and READMEs with ‘psychological’ commentary. Lately it has been stuff about how, no, it is not R⁷RS Scheme that is reactionary, it is R⁶RS Scheme that was reactionary, because it rejected the SRFIs. I actually stick this stuff in my libraries because I think it explains a lot.

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.

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.
