Flashbacks from the past



I seek not to know all the answers, but to understand the questions

- Kung Foo, Kwai Chang Caine, episode: The third man.


The following conversation which I had with my manager and chief architect some years ago suddenly came to mind:AThwo short conversations

Conversation 1:
                        Me:
                                What problem are we trying to solve?
                        Manager:
                                There is no problem. I’ve got multiple solutions and I’m trying to understand which one is the best one.

Conversation 2:
                        Me:
                                Can you explain what the problem is?
                        Manager:
                                Yes, but only if there is a problem, otherwise we’ll just look at the proposed solution.


It is amazing what you can experience in the life as an IT developer … !
