> It’s incredible how some engineers assume they understand economics, then proceed to fail on some of its most basic premises. This tends to happen when engineering-style certainty is applied to systems that are driven by incentives and uncertainty.

Dunning Kruger effect, am I right?

We consider we are smart because we can make computers go beep boop so we know about the economy too. I mean, I am part of this too even though I (or we all) know the effect but I guess my point is that there should be an humility if we are wrong.

I can be wrong, I usually am. If someone corrects me, I would try to hopefully learn from that. But let's see how the author of this post responds to the GP's (valid, from what I can tell) critique.

Edit: Looks like they have already responded (before I wrote it but I forgot to see their comment where they said that its not at the scale or frequency we see in tech)
