I have a bad habit of immediately thinking the opposite of whatever people tell me, or just generally trying to poke holes in things. (“Oh yeah? Well, what happens if I do this?”)
For better or worse, I love finding flaws.
In a way, it’s how I learn. It’s not enough for you to tell me, instead I have to try it—and I have to try and break it. If I can break it, I can understand it. (If I can predict how it will break, that’s when I really understand.)
Assume nothing, question break everything.
