7 Deadlier Sins of Craftsmanship
summary
Seven recurring anti-patterns map to cognitive biases: pride = illusion of knowledge leading to opinionated decisions; greed/lust = hoarding shiny tech and cargo-cult copying; envy = confirmation bias defending bad choices; gluttony = IKEA effect of bespoke tools; anger = judging results without context; sloth = well‑traveled‑road avoidance of experiments. Remedies are concrete: adopt data-driven decisions, measure and evaluate tool value, create buy‑in across the team and run small experiments to verify changes quickly.
