About "Cognitive load being rarely considered", I meant it in actual project work, not in the sense that the idea of applying cognitive psychology to programming is new.
I am sure the topic has been considered in an academic setting. I would not feel qualified to provide a good reading list on the topic.
This is also related to code quality, thus it will have a ton of relevant work.
Thank you for the links, in particular to Skelton, Pais, I will have a look!
My coworker told me that my post is being discussed in Hacker News, I did not know!
It will take me some time to digest what was said here. It looks like a lot of good discussion.
Thank you!
