Every Developer Needs To Know How To Do This

[@mhadi-dev]

Take away from this vid: Don't take orders from business team as granted. Question and challenge them, because most of the time (99.99999%) they don't know what they need.

But sadly this is why we programmers had a job. Also, this reminds me of the Elon Musk's 5 step engineering process. Step1: Make the requirements less dumb.

[@yelodev]

you are 100% right bro..... whiich tends to confuse the whoole job

[@smithdoesstuff]

This is why business analysts and product managers exist. Protecting devs from people who don’t know what they really need.

[@sidneyrepp6492]

My boss was a project manager and this is one of the first things she taught me. Amazing advice!

[@TannerBarcelos]

I continue to get better at this at work. Sometimes I still jump the gun, but that's what repetition and practice help solve. This is great advice; understand the problem and use-cases before any code. You will save yourself a lot of time.

[@alastairzotos]

This phenomenon actually has a name: The XY problem "It occurs when someone seeking help focuses on their attempted solution (X) rather than the actual problem they're trying to solve (Y)"

[@yahayaoyinkansola8258]

This is why code is not just code. Understanding the reason behind the code we write is what makes it worth while in the end, else it won't yield much benefit. Thanks kyle for this

[@Thor6398-jt4mb]

This is a good advice. I always ask the clients what they start with (if they have certain data, or what the problem is that needs to be solved) and what they want to get out of it at the end. Everything between is my job, not my client's. I never ask them specifically what they want me to do, because they don't know.

[@Maxim-Goncharenko]

Absolutely! The ability to ask the right questions to the right person is essential. It not only sparks critical thinking but also helps developers understand the true needs of a business. This is, without a doubt, one of the most vital skills a developer can have.

[@TomO-nx1bd]

This is a great video thank you for bringing this out into the open. But actually, I have mixed feelings about recommending developers go too far becoming business analysts and putting in tons of meeting time with users. This should be the job of a dedicated business analyst. Developers must concentrate on coding and getting better at technical skills not requirements gathering skills. At my company, we have many developers who are very savvy with understanding all the little nuances related our company's complex business logic but they are weak developers, many don't have modern programming skills.

[@milanfanas]

If you are in a corporate you have a PO or PM who is responsible for doing this job. But he is usually not a technical guy and you end up in the infinite loop of multiple adjustments anyway.

[@EdwinMartin]

That’s why scrum is invented 😄

[@milanfanas]

@@EdwinMartin scrum is good if applied with wisdom. A lot of companies are following agile and scrum rules as if they were the bible. So you iterate a million times and spend half of your day in useless meetings. But soon only prompt engineers will resist

[@ZhouJi]

in fact if this PM is somewhat technical, it will be worse than totally not technical

[@johnpagley]

So true. You'd be surprised how many devs do this back and forth iteration after iteration process... A great lesson to be learned for sure!

[@shakapaker]

Comprehension often requires a story for people's brains to cling to and solidify the concept. If people are just looking for quick lists on KZbin without explanation, maybe KZbin isn't your best source for learning these types of things.

[@johnkucharsky6927]

@@brettconnolly399 that's a genius remark, should i know everything in this world to be good at programming? Or, probably, just focus on something important

The second skill to acquire is to really listen and find a good balance about what you can assume and where to ask further questions.

[@syedmohummadali6643]

Hey kyle, Thanks for sharing this. I saw this video as i am 6 months in working in my web development career. But i am also a video editor(switched my active career from this to webdev), and i have been watching your videos and obvs notice the increased use of the "visual" content. I do love the experimentation and trying to make your video more engaging but these kind of visuals felt more distracting then engaging. So yeah if you want any help or guidance about it let me know. Will love to help as much as you have helped me in my web dev journey.

The video came at me the right time I’m a fullstack software developer apprentice and atm it’s kinda overwhelming I need to ask more questions of what the code in writing is gonna do Why am I writing it And get there Instead of doing the code Getting it given back and told make this and that change after a while Thanks!

[@knkootbaoat6759]

this is very funny. i'm also starting my career and working on helping finance to help with 'streamlining' their budget processes and i agree 100000% with you on really needing to understand the reason for y you are writing the code/solution you are writing

[@raghavharvindar2539]

every task in a company is revolve around billing of that particular feature the cost should not be less and it should not be over spill so it's less to do with what users want or they need it or not it's a business unlike other business in the market they try to sell irrespective of your need like Loans,offers,cloths,accessaroies etc.

[@jaaguitar]

People can't tell you what they want, so Agile was supposed to let you do small iterations and help them decide on seeing the software. Hasn't really worked out that way. At a lot of corporations you'd end up being labelled as "difficult" by asking the questions.

[@breezycodes]

Honestly, even after sitting down and having that talk, you may still end up wasting a lot of time implementing stuff they don't need.

The customer cannot decide what kind of program should be written. His programming knowledge is not enough for that. Because the customer is not a program developer. The customer only defines the problem clearly. It is the developer's job to develop the program that will provide the solution. In other words, the most important thing is to design the best algorithm to solve a clearly defined problem.

[@lesalmin]

Understand which part of your customer's business process your software implements. Don't just be a programmer, be a problem solver. 😎
