That’s very valid feedback.

I hope I don’t come across that was and do have some evidence (not to be laid out here) supporting that I don’t.

I think I’ve created a team and structure where the developers I manage are comfortable telling me I’m wrong or what I didn’t consider. It happens weekly. We value honest feedback highly. We do it with respect, but we do it.

We just have some developers on the team that are resistant to ideas that don’t follow a pattern until they see it. And sometimes my communication around the initial idea is poor and the best way I can communicate is an implementation.

As with virtually everything in this thread, it matters how you do it. Sounds like you did it well.

I’ll add one other great edge in building a quick POC yourself. Sometimes your idea actually _is_ bad, and trying to articulate it in code helps you see it.
