When Sense-making and Statistics Collide

from Developer Tea · host Jonathan Cutrell

Our ability to make sense out of things is powerful. When we hear "90% of the way there", our brain fills in the gaps and often stretches that to mean "basically 100%." However, this is a cognitive error. In this episode, we talk about the importance of combining statistical thinking with sensemaking.🙏 Today's Episode is Brought To you by: DopplerThousands of companies of all sizes—from startups to enterprises—use Doppler to keep their secrets and app configuration in sync across devices, environments, and team members.
