The Next Iteration Podcast#40 - The Dunning-Kruger EffectEver had that one friend that thinks they know everything?
They could have just started learning something, let’s say an instrument, but they feel like they’re experts.
This phenomena is called the Dunning-Kruger effect, and happens when people of low ability overestimate their strengths. They don’t know what they don’t know, and so they think they’re more advanced than they are.
Conversely, people who are actually competent tend to underestimate themselves, because they’ve seen how deep a field is.

They face a lack of representation in upper management and products that simply aren’t designed for them.
There’s a difference between a product that is “made for everyone” and a product that specifically designs for underserved communities, by bringing them into the development process.

Recently however, time's felt like it's been at a standstill. The pandemic has resulted in a slowdown of some of the fast paced aspects of life that we took for granted, and given us a time to reflect.
