Seems a convoluted way of looking at it to me, but i guess it’s just another case of different strokes for different folks.
Comment on My Bank Recently Changed Their Interface to Move Money Between Accounts
theneverfox@pawb.social 1 day agoSure… If I want $300 in an account, that’s my goal. I don’t want to decrease another account by that amount
So my goal is to move X money into Y account, or maybe all but X money into Y account
The second half is where it comes from. It’s not the goal, it’s the means
But again as I said, flipping this is a worse solution than either direction

I mean, I do this professionally, I took courses that break down what makes something feel intuitive

I don’t doubt that, but courses are selected/designed by their teachers - who likely select what fits their pre-existing biases. Virtual nothing humans do comes out without biases affecting things, which is what makes the “reproducibility” of studies such an important part of science - and even those reproductions need to be done numerous times to truly start to become trustworthy.

You realize this is actually a field of study? Like, this isn’t a particularly soft science… Companies have done massive A/B campaigns and written papers on it, universities do studies on it… It’s not just opinion

You must be an electrical engineer or something, since you’re apparently so used to thinking about flows backwards.
