because human time perception is so heavily tied to the amygdala, programmers and power users very frequently confuse “more fun” with “more productive” or “more time efficient”, including when it is just objectively not trueand in my experience, since they’re good at computers they will frequently also vastly overestimate their own ability to percieve these things objectively, and double down on ridiculously inefficient choices that are nevertheless more fun or satisfying for them
