This is where design doc should be required. At my company we engineers are required to come up with a design doc and share with the whole org for feedback then a design meeting that takes place every week. At first I thought this was a step back because I felt it was a water fall but after writing my own design doc I quickly realized “talking is really fucking cheap.” Sitting down and write a doc that considers as many corner cases and implementation really produce high quality work. It’s all about discipline indeed.

- matwood 8y agoThat's great. A design doc is even a step beyond just writing down the idea. Bezos is famous for making people write one pagers to pass out prior to talking about any idea. I see one pagers as way to quickly weed through a bunch of ideas, and a design doc as the next step to determine feasibility.
