Mo’ Problems

by Dave ChaceNovember 7, 2018
1000w_q95-5

Nobody on earth wants to hear about the problems you’ve identified. You don’t get points for finding problems without fixing them. Why are you talking about problems instead of solving them?

People don’t really want to hear about the problems you’ve solved, either. Those problems are solved, so there are no next steps. What do you want, credit? It’s not about you; go find more problems to solve.

I only want to hear about the problems you cannot solve. This way, we can solve them together.

And if it’s a problem you should have been able to solve on your own, you’ve just created a second new problem by getting on my radar. And you still need to go solve the first problem yourself. Don’t create problems.
