Availability Heuristic
“If something can be recalled, it must be important”
‘Hipster-itis’ e.g. RDBMS aren’t web-scale…
…and “alpha geeks” tend to be quite opinionated

Optimistic Bias
“People tend to be overconfident, believing that they have substantial
control in their lives”
Big up-front design… vs ‘last responsible moment’…

Anchoring Bias
“Common tendency to rely too heavily on the first piece of information offered when
making decisions. ”
How does your manager ask for estimates?
…is it an unbiased question?
