Using to JS API extensively.

I’m concerned that my questions might come across as doubting the developers’ competence, which is absolutely not the case. I have tremendous respect and gratitude for the developers, and I fully recognize that they have vastly more knowledge and expertise about these problems than I do.

My approach of asking skeptical questions is intended to help identify things that might have been overlooked—not because I think the developers haven’t thought things through, but because sometimes an outside perspective can spot something that gets missed. Of course, most of the time I end up asking about things that the team has already thoroughly considered :(.

My hope is that occasionally I might contribute a useful insight or perspective. However, if I’m creating too much noise and not enough signal, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I would much rather scale back my questions than be disruptive. My goal is to be helpful, not to get in the way of the important work you’re doing.
