Look For The Root Cause When Solving Problems

January 08, 2024 • Nate Ebel • Season 2 • Episode 1

When debugging an error in our code or looking for a solution to a given problem, it's easy to fall into the trap of going with the quick, obvious solution. However, this often sets us up for future problems because many times the obvious solution does not solve the root cause of the error or solve the fundamental problem of the task in front of us.

By asking questions like "how?" or "why" we can dig deeper into the potential solutions and try to identify a fix or solution that addresses the immediate need while also avoiding future problems.

Thanks for listening devs! 👋
