Every day, cloud-native developers navigate an ecosystem that has exploded in complexity. Hundreds of tools to choose from and of configuration options, and thousands of micro-decisions daily. This talk applies behavioral economics and cognitive psychology to explain why making technical choices is so mentally exhausting and what we can do about it. You'll learn the science behind decision fatigue, how cognitive biases shape our architecture decisions, and practical strategies to reduce the cognitive load on your teams.
