THINKING SLOW, THINKING FAST AND INTUITION IN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of The Agile Software Engineering Deep Dive, Alessandro Guida explores intuition in software engineering through Daniel Kahneman’s ideas about fast and slow thinking.The episode looks at how years of experience can turn deliberate reasoning into fast pattern recognition, why this matters in debugging, code review and architecture, and where intuition can become dangerous when confidence grows faster than evidence.It also explores the relationship between intuition and first-principles thinking, and asks what these human capabilities may mean in a world where AI can generate increasingly convincing software at remarkable speed.And, of course, it answers one important question: why does John earn so much?Support the showThis Podcast is an audio version of the written Agile Software Engineering newsletter.  If you want to go deeper, don't forget to subscribe the newsletter too.
