Write down the other side's arguments

00:14:40 — Exercise: write down the other side’s arguments

The second exercise is more challenging and long-term: the next time you disagree with a coworker — about a tool choice, a methodology, a design decision — intentionally and systematically write down their arguments. This practice forces you to engage with opposing viewpoints rather than dismissing them, making rational humility an active discipline rather than an abstract ideal. It’s specifically framed around professional disagreements, not personal ones, grounding it in the daily work of development teams.
