>Imagine being in a software team and disregarding what others are doing? I think there's an extent to which this is actually healthy. If we're to build modular code, we shouldn't concern ourselves with the internal workings of modules built by others. We do need to agree on how the modules will interact, but if we need to concern ourselves with how their parts work then we're insufficiently modular. This maps to the social interpretation of this advice as well. You need a healthy interpersonal interface to accept useful input while ignoring useless input.
