An act that turns out to be against one's own best interests. A self-scam can often be a decision which creates more problems than it solves, or that causes more trouble than it's worth. Often used to describe actions that turn out to be bad financially, or that are time-inefficient.
Buying a car is a huge financial liability. It is basically a self-scam.
I realized the module I created was more of a self-scam, because it adds a bunch of new bugs to the codebase.
Stress is just a self-scam. It does not speed up the work, and causes more mistakes.
