Taking ownership means adding judgment and moving a problem toward resolution. Make your questions, coordination, and AI-assisted work useful to your teammates.
Fran, creating a separate ticket for the other tests keeps the original code review from growing endlessly. You can acknowledge that more work is needed and give it a clear next step without holding up a change that’s already ready to go.
Yes, that was actually what I wanted to say in the article. If we could quantify the amount of thinking in some way, the point that I wanted to convey is that rather than requiring the next person to do more thinking, because they will find the same test failure and they will have to do the same things that you already did... You already make some progress to solving even if you don't solve it yourself.
I find that most times we are creating more needs of thinking when we collaborate with people than the problem itself requires to be solved.
Ideally if a problem requires “five units of thinking”, they should still be five units of thinking regardless if one person solves it end-to-end or if the work is distributed between two or three people
