Quote:
Our experiments revealed that asking “What can I add?” appears to be a cognitive default. It’s a shortcut that people use when, in the phrase popularized by the Nobel Prize-winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman, they’re “thinking fast.” When we used some tried-and-true methods to get people “thinking slow,” we found that they were more likely to ask “What can I add or subtract?”
Reminds me of the "feature creep" in Visual Studio, and C#, and, of the dev-flesh eating bacterial plague of web frameworks.
