It matters a lot! If I could reduce your toast-based problem solving technique to something we could implement on silicon and gluten, imagine the applications!

It matters a lot! If I could reduce your toast-based problem solving technique to something we could implement on silicon and gluten, imagine the applications! Also yes, hearing you reason also matters a lot. I need to see how you refine my lousy problem statement into a solvable problem. Do you make a lot of assumptions about the problem without noticing? Can you consider alternatives or do you get completely stuck on the first solution you encounter? Can you explain a technical idea to someone reasonably clearly and concisely? I don't need you to be like me, but if we can't brainstorm together about technical problems, we're going to have trouble working together as a team.
