Hey, have you ever noticed how our brains are wired to chase the perfect O(n log n) solution, even when a simple linear approach would do? I think there’s a neat way to chart that tendency using the “cognitive load curve” – sort of like a fitness tracker for our problem‑solving muscles.
Yeah, I get that. The O(n log n) bias is a classic. A “cognitive load curve” could be a neat diagnostic tool—just make sure you’re not turning the chart into a second optimization problem.
