The Dunning–Kruger effect

Post by Earnest » February 19, 2023, 4:14 am

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a certain type of task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge. Some researchers also include in their definition the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills.

Yes, I think it does apply here as I quite often underestimate my skills \:D/

I'm sure your expertise will come the fore at Udon Social now that you've lost your technical lead on the team.

This Udon Social. Sounds very...Trumpian, no? I hope it wasn't set up by a bunch of losers as some sort of alternative fact outlet.

Oh definitely but Trump copied the Udon Social model. Losers congregate over there to gnash their teeth over what happens here. You're a person of much discussion on UT, Tam, I keep telling them you're a good bloke but they won't have it.

You get a free MAGA hat when you pay your first yearly subscription. Still got 997 in stock from the 1,000 that were ordered.
