Does this new game promise to reticulate any splines?

Except you almost always can do it. It's just that you really shouldn't.

It's not that developers like to be right, it's that we tend to have an overly literal view of the world -- a product of our skillset.

It's why if a manager asks if something is ready, in the back of your mind you know nothing's ever 100% ready, especially in software, and you have to force yourself to effectively lie and say that it is.

The solution isn't to get over some perceived bad habit. It's to get good at translating business and management questions into technical ones.

If a business associate asks if something can be done, that's business-ese for "is this feasible", not "is this possible".
