Troubleshooting
I spent most of my week trying to figure out problems with new systems with minimal feedback. Learning new tools and systems is hard. Doing it without insight into how the system works is nearly impossible.
This concept is easy to understand with logical systems like software. Even bugs can quickly be understood and fixed. We write tests and tools to give us more insight and help us understand and avoid the same mistakes in the future.
Often times our careers need troubleshooting too. We continue on without feedback from people that can help us get better and be successful. While human systems cannot be understood or tested like software it doesn’t mean you should avoid creating mechanisms to better understand how and why things don’t go as expected.
