There's an ongoing replication crisis in psychology that suggests that most of the findings in the field are fatally flawed [1][2][3].

In light of this, it's not really fair to say that tech cannot be inherently complex because psychology is more complex, and they somehow manage. The psychologists have, empirically, not managed very well.

Yeah, psychologists have managed worse than techies, because psychology have a more complex object to explore. They even cannot find a good methodology for 150+ years.

There is an alternative explanation: psychologists are less intelligent than techies, but I do not believe in that. There are a lot of tech people in psychology research.

There's also no output to psychology, so there's nothing to validate you. Especially because it doesn't matter if you get psychology wrong - who cares if you don't know how your mind works? It doesn't care, it's going to keep thinking.

But also, a psychology degree isn't used for becoming a "psychologist", right? That's either an academic or a kind of talk therapist. I think the people I know with that degree work in HR.
