Conflict Resolution vs Avoidance
Developers should learn conflict resolution to handle common scenarios such as merge conflicts in Git when multiple contributors edit the same code, disagreements over technical approaches during code reviews or architecture discussions, and interpersonal issues that can disrupt team collaboration meets developers should learn about avoidance to proactively mitigate risks and improve system reliability, such as avoiding deprecated libraries to prevent security vulnerabilities or steering clear of anti-patterns that reduce code quality. Here's our take.
