This extends to just understanding the business the tools you build are providing for. It may seem like a obvious thing but you will be surprised how many people work on/build a tool when not having a full grasp on the business process that it will be used for. Just taking the extra time to go through that will help solve or identify alot of issues down the line.
Couldn’t agree more. We live in a world where a lot of people have gotten into software engineering by delivering results, but maybe don’t really understand how things work under the hood - and that’s okay, but I think everyone would be a better engineer if they were to take a step back and figure out how things work under the hood.
