Not an emgineer or anything but a lot of times it's because the person phrasing the question is asking for the wrong thing to solve their problem. I have a graphic designer that works for me that is fantastic at getting to what people "really" want even though she has no idea how to solve it. I'll often use her to filter questions through to my technical people because her normal job is based around people poorly explaining their goals and her having to ask a lot of questions to get there. Tech folks usually take longer for things to click because the initial question isn't straight forward enough. Different skillsets. I used to work in digital marketing and now I work in tech so I hope I'm quite good at asking these questions by now. I do note how instantly defensive devs can be, though. Probably for this reason. So I like to ask the question, pretend to accept the "No, not possible, stupid idea" answer and then just go make a coffee and wait for them to muddle it over for a bit. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV <cite>pinky0926 posted [p:954311901] in Something ...
