I think the first step is to be open to another perspective, opinion, philosophy in life and inviting others who is not developer to look at what you are doing. We should not operate in silo instead focus on being surrounded by people from a different domain to help in solving a problem.

Ah, this is so true. Whenever I chance catch up with friends or family who are a different industry, I often re-realize how silo-ed I am in my thinking.
We may think we have all the information necessary, and end up approaching problems from a lop-sided perspective.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Max!

Yup certain things might make sense in a technology viewpoint but might have backlash without thinking it out through. As the creators of pesticides did not think that their chemicals would be used for a war that leads to the destruction of environmental & human lives was greatly affected. Having people who have a diverse domain on board helps a lot to figure out these issues and nip them in the bud before it turns into a huge problem.
