Why is that bad news? If you're interested in the outcome - someone has saved you work.
If you're interested in the process - or exploring your specific approach then why stop?
- ShamelessC 3y agoBecause of the sunk cost fallacy which is a fallacy only if you ignore the emotions and trauma of having to abandon work you identify with or is responsible for your self esteem.
- SiempreViernes 3y agoDon't see how the sunk cost has anything to do with it, OP clearly hoped to be first, as being first would almost guarantee a payoff of some form. Coming out with a method second is much less likely to be rewarded by the community: not being rewarded for work completed is not sunk cost, its just a straight up loss.
