Follow The Problem

The business does not usually care what category a problem belongs to.

Front end.
Back end.
Data.
DevOps.
QA…

It just needs the thing to work.

That usually requires someone willing to get close to the problem and set ego and job description aside.

In practice, that means:

Talking to users.
Changing workflows.
Learning new skills.
Finding the problem beneath the symptoms.

Great builders go where the problem leads.
