This is why I always err on the side of taking a stand. A clear position is a place where we can explore the argument. Falling back on “it depends” or “it’s all about trade-offs” is a way to shut it down. It’s what you say when you don’t want to risk saying anything at all.

I use "it depends" because most of the time the person asking the question isn't interested in what it depends on. They just want simplistic answers to under-specified questions. Low effort in -> Low effort out

Yeah a better way to phrase it is usually something like “I don’t have enough information yet to give you an answer with the confidence you’re looking for”

I generally agree with this, but sometimes I'm just not sure. I don't know... I guess it just depends.

@dhh is then suggesting you do better, or keep it to yourself until you've formed an opinion. You can always ask questions to help form your opinions, especially if you know a particular item concerns you. - Još 1 odgovor

Agree. At the same time most people don’t want the complexity. They literally want simple easy answers. And the truth is that the problems they come to me with are not easy.

Agree. I've had people tell me they're "bored now" when I've tried to explain the what or how.

I use “it depends” as a segue to introduce a branching of decision making that usually includes one or more choices with outstanding dependencies

I also use this when I don't feel like going in depth with someone about the pros/cons It usually takes more energy to take a stance

Thank you for being honest! We’ve all done it either in our professional lives or personal. I’ve certainly done it when trying to explain something technical or complicated to friends/family.
