There’s a simple but powerful truth in problem-solving: If you don’t fully understand the problem, you’ll either overcomplicate the solution or fail to solve it entirely. This applies to everything from AI and robotics to everyday challenges at work or home. I would like to write about it because it’s so critical and I often find especially during interviews/projects/brainstorming sessions that engineers don’t pay enough attention to it. As a result it leads to waste of resources and time on doing wrong things. ...
