Sin-Yaw @ Juniper

I sought advices from Mark for working at Juniper. He thought for a moment and said, “Listen first.” Mike Harding told me the same. They alerted me that I have not been following my own rules.

No sudden moves: it is almost never a good idea to surprise anyone. Plan for communication delays. Pull trigger only after everyone is expecting a loud bang.

I am not smarter: Jumping in to deploy an obvious solution, without understanding why it wasn’t done already, will frequently yield unpleasant surprises. If I am not smarter, then they must have good reasons doing things “obviously” wrongly.

Of course, all rules have exceptions. Emergencies demand swift actions. But Sin-Yaw, follow your own rules!
