Changing opinion

The article describes a personal mental exercise where the author, when disagreeing, tries to convince themselves the other person is correct. By assuming they are wrong and working backwards, the author has changed their own mind. The method requires believing the other person is smart and arguing in good faith, fostering intellectual humility. While not a technical tutorial, it discusses a cognitive framework relevant to collaborative problem-solving in tech teams.
