Start With a Hypothesis, Not a Fix

takeaway 1 connections

Before proposing a fix, describe the reality you observe and formulate an explicit hypothesis with supporting evidence. Without evidence, demands like 'remove the gem' or 'revert the last commit' — even coming from architects, managers, or CEOs — are merely opinions and not actionable. Opinions can still seed hypotheses, but they are not conclusions.
