"Cognitive Bias: A reflection and path forward" by Bryan Liles

Cognitive bias is one of the demons hiding in the dark when it comes to writing software. Your perception of situations can prevent you from being rational. In this talk, I'll visit examples of cognitive bias in the process of making software and present alternative views, which the viewer will amalgamate into future decision making processes. The goal of this presentation is to reduce dogma, and make it easier to see how other points can be valid even when it offends your primal sensibilities.
