> Relatedly, it’s it’s easier to have bad ideas if you don’t have to explain them. This resonates a lot. So many ideas that seem to make sense at first (you’re having the ideas in the first place after all), but start crumbling even with simple rubber ducking. Taking distance to try to explain if to a third party, even if they don’t exist, is underrated. Funnily enough, writing comments and documentation don’t trigger that switch. There might be some hidden assumption that the reader is supposed to “get on board” and come share the same mental model perhaps.
