That’s a communication issue. You should learn how to ask the right questions and document the answers given. What I’ve seen is developers assuming stuff when they should just reach out to team members. Or trying stuff instead of reading documentation. Or trying to remember info instead of noting it down somewhere. | ||

Well, yeah, obviously if you're perfectly diligent and never screw up, it's possible to be correct 100% of the time. In my experience, even extremely smart diligent people who are good at asking the right questions and reading documentation still mess up sometimes, which is the point I'm trying to make. If you genuinely don't ever encounter this issue, I guess everyone I've ever worked with and I just aren't as perfect as you and the people you've worked with, but I'd argue that you're not having the average experience of working with regular people if that's the case. Most of us are mere mortals who are sometimes fallible, and while the exact underlying mechanism of how we make mistakes might not be literally identical to the issues described in the article, my point is that the difference might just be a matter of degree rather than something fundamentally different in what types of errors occur. |
