There's a concept called "WEIRD bias" in psychology and social science: we make broad claims about human behavior based on experiments conducted on Western, educated, industrialized, rich, democratic subjects. I think most developers are weird, too. In what ways is the average developer different from most users?

A few things that come to mind: desktop first, high bandwidth, don't see ads, upgrade often. More on WEIRD people here: https://www2.psych.ubc.ca/~henrich/pdfs/Weird_People_BBS_final02.pdf

this is just anecdotal, but do many developers skip lunch for flow state?

That's why Zuck gave his devs cheap Android phones and sent them to Africa. You just can't understand some bugs until you actually experience them. (this is also why I think Dan should use Android Warpcast app for at least a week)

Developers are more willing to spend time learning a software interface, tinkering around to figure out what to do with it, trying different things when they get stuck or confused, etc. Everyday users will not do that. They are afraid to click the wrong button and unlikely to try something that they do not understand.

but i've read about similar issues a while ago, and it was funny to realize that a lot of “research” would be based on students of ivy league or whatever

My tolerance for the jankyness of apps is proportional to how janky the code I wrote that day was. I reckon most consumers are less forgiving

Developers tend to approach problems logically and structurally. They are accustomed to solving issues like code debugging and system optimization.

I think everyone I know has basically lost the powerbadge now. Wasn't that "not suppose to exist" anymore? 🤔 Hmmm, still seems like it sure tanks people's engagement though. Even it its not "visible" on the front end. @pichi hit me with those numbers. Just another monday on FC.

Developers have the ability to understand coding languages compared to a normal user and also focus on logical problem solving

Most drvs are focused on tye solutions they are providing and not the problem. The average user is fixated on a problem, that's a pain point. In order to be successful, know the problem you are crafting that solutions for. Be obsessed with the problem and craft out a solutions. Don't do it the other way round, where you dish out a solution and hope it solves users problems.
