I disagree somewhat with it being a team sport. It’s more of an art, which is the problem here. The way I solve a problem and the way you solve it may be two completely different yet perfectly valid ways. Who is right in that situation? We could go rounds arguing whose solution is better. In the end, the problem been solved. Sometimes that’s enough. We as an industry need to get better at recognizing when a problem has been sufficiently solved and move on.

If this is what the discussion devolves into, then I expect additional context to serve as the guiding light. What are the goals of the project? What is the timeline? What is the ROI? Who are our customers? What are their tolerances? Do we have SLAs? What internal commitments do we have to other teams? etc. If none of those are enough to serve as the guiding principle, then who really cares how a problem is solved as long as it's solved? You're building a business, not making art to be admired.
