I often hear &quot;Ugh, it&#x27;s tiring you telling us what all the problems are, why can&#x27;t you tell us the solution?&quot;.<p>But I get &quot;Man, I&#x27;m so glad you saw that problem way back at the design stage.  We really dodged a bullet there.&quot; about 3-4 times as often.<p>What I generally don&#x27;t hear is, &quot;OMFG, our project is about to fail.  Why did no one see that this issue was coming and do something about it!&quot;.<p>The assumption that anyone noting a problem is just whining and complaining is a good way to tank a project.  I&#x27;ve seen that type of thinking prevail, and it sucks for everyone.
