The IKEA effect

Read Original

The article discusses the 'IKEA Effect'—a cognitive bias where people overvalue things they've built—in the context of programming. Using an example of a developer stubbornly optimizing a poor UX query, it argues that this bias leads to wasted effort and resistance to better alternatives at all levels, from management to individual coders.
