Inversion Exercise
Overview
Flip every assumption and see what still works. Sometimes the opposite reveals the truth.
Core principle: Inversion exposes hidden assumptions and alternative approaches.
Quick Reference
| Normal Assumption | Inverted | What It Reveals |
|---|---|---|
| Cache to reduce latency | Add latency to enable caching | Debouncing patterns |
| Pull data when needed | Push data before needed | Prefetching, eager loading |
| Handle errors when occur | Make errors impossible | Type systems, contracts |
| Build features users want | Remove features users don't need | Simplicity >> addition |
| Optimize for common case | Optimize for worst case | Resilience patterns |
