Discussion on: When was the last time assuming something in a project ended up causing you trouble?

I just started a new gig, and while I ask a lot of questions, to hit the ground running i’ll have to make a number of assumptions while I’m learning both the domain and codebase. Some of those assumptions will turn out wrong, but that’s part of the learning process. Over time as I build expertise in the business and process i’ll make less assumptions and the assumptions I do make will be wrong at a lessened frequency.

Totally relatable, but I was looking for examples to show people how they can hurt more than help sometimes
