How many times do I need to go down this path:
...
- ask for help
- try to explain how it's supposed to work
- try to explain how it's not working
- Listen to them come up with all the ideas that I've already ruled out
- Try to explain why their preferred idea has already been
ruled out or is not actually relevant to the problem
- conclude they still don't understand the problem or even
how this part of the system works
- go ahead and just solve the problem myself
...
before it's OK to stop "asking for help", and just fix the damn thing?
- areeh 5y agoI could see this the other way, where the reason this path happens is because of a problem with how the team operates so others are not in the loop on the problem or , even worse, the entire system. I think what the parent is proposing is trying to combat that entire issue
