BUG BLINDNESS

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Some bugs give normal users such a bad experience that they tell their friends about it. Developers and advanced users can be blind to these bugs because they're used to performing the non-intuitive workarounds required to get around them. Humans have a high ability to ignore the negatives in things they like. Being open to criticism can help developers notice more flaws in their work.
