What kind of ASS are UME?
I say, "Assume there's already a solution." You say, "You know what happens when you ass-ume haha!"
When you've decided that you need to solve a problem, you can dig in and start creating a solution.
Or you can look for other solutions to learn from.
Either way you're assuming.
Do you assume someone's already tried to solve a problem like this? Or do you assume you're the first person who's ever tried?
