I hate looking stupid when I have to ask clarifying questions after the person explaining something to me has left out a ton of information. People assume way too often that I can “fill in the details” from a vague description that they think is complete.

    So many times I'm the one asking questions who no one knows while they just gave an estimation based on feeling or so

    Are you by any chance asking your management about business requirements?

    I'm in a project where I'm waiting for those 3 years already and still don't have a clear answer .

    You don't look stupid to anyone in the know, especially if they can't answer those clarifying questions. I do this all the time, and I have it on good authority it's never me who walks away looking incompetent. At least not in this situation 😅

    @NeatNerdPrime In this case it’s simple content management. The request is to post a video. But there’s design and title/description/additional metadata content required that I don’t have. They assume I can just write it without expertise in the topic of the video.
