@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.

Feels like it should maybe be a new bio quote
it's absolutely true of me. It's absolutely true.@grimalkina (remind me to encourage you to come to #NBPy next year

@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.

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. -

@nedbat Oh what was that called, I need to watch it (is there a video?)
