Some really good tips here for knowledge workers in general, not just developers/engineers. Questioning my bias has given me the best results to my career, because it let me grow where previously I'd have ignores an avenue.

I also come back to "is it a bug, or is it a feature?". Sometimes features are just not inclusive enough, they represent a past bias expressed somewhen else. Then by questioning what was actually expected... Sometimes we can come up with a very different solution, instead of compounding and confusing the bias further.
