@mjtsai Are you aware of any developers putting a $ amount on platform friction like this?
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai Jul 22

@McCloudStrife No, but I can attest that it takes a huge amount of time. Has bitten me multiple times as a user, too.
McCloud ‏@McCloudStrife Jul 22

@mjtsai I’m really curious to find out what “cost” it has - is it annoying but cheap? Is it a high hidden cost we’re not aware of?
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai Jul 22

@McCloudStrife Knowing what I know now I never would have gotten involved, but, now that I’m in, it always seems feasible to continue.

@mjtsai Not to rain on your parade or anything, but you are keeping the Sunk Cost Fallacy in mind right?
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai Jul 22

@McCloudStrife Yes, but it goes both ways. If the estimated work to continue is small, makes sense to stay in.
McCloud ‏@McCloudStrife Jul 22

@mjtsai I hear you, as long as you’re aware of it while making your plan it’s OK. Sometimes I wonder if it’s all just MAS boiling frogs tho
