I always tell my team one thing, "it's better to be incorrect than being silent". Irrespective of experience, skills, correctness your opinions and thoughts matter. If you're not expressing yourself, then you're closing the doors of self improvement and that way you're doing a disservice to the team and the organisation at large.
We trust you, and value you -- not because you're supposed to be correct always (that's a myth) -- but because you have already proven that you belong here with us. We all make incorrect assumptions, write suboptimal code, make partially correct observations during meetings. Rome was not built in a day, being perfect doesn't happen overnight -- maybe it never happens. But we collaborate and build good things, eventually we make it better. It's a process, and accepting this process is the first step to grow organically as an engineer.

Oh I love that, thanks for sharing Ganesh! You are absolutely right, the only way to learn (and get better) is to try and sometimes be wrong 🙌
