alt Hacker NewsI remember reading an interview with a fireman who described a time when his buddy evacuated a team because he "felt" that a floor would collapse imminently.
He couldn't articulate why but they trusted his gut and it did collapse.
A lot of software engineering relies on that kind of intuition and on a good team you can integrate it and benefit from it and avoid all manner of floor collapses.
To play devil’s advocate, intuition is still a physical response to stimuli mixed with knowledge of past experience. Hypothetically it could be modeled- the problem here comes down to how to encode it.
