I appreciate how approachable this was. It's easy to read about cognitive biases in theory, but seeing them through your lens and experience makes them feel more relevant to what we actually go through.
I don’t have any specific “bias story”, but I thought of my teams: when we discussed issues, I tried to wait until the end to share my own take. Thanks to that, the team didn’t try to align with my views and shared their true opinions. — Which was often helpful and also helped me change my mind 😅
Most bad decisions aren’t from ignorance — they’re from the wrong kind of knowing.
Our mental shortcuts are efficient, but efficiency without accuracy just gets you to the wrong answer faster. The trick is catching the bias before it locks the door behind you.
📌 Fast thinking is only good if it lands you somewhere worth being.

Thank you for sharing it, Michał.
Thank you very much, Doina, for your kind words. It means a lot!
Great summary – the sunk cost part especially hit home. Sometimes the smartest move is to just walk away.
Would love to hear if any of these biases had a real impact on your team or a project you led. Any story that stuck with you?
Thanks, Łukasz, I’m glad you liked it!
