My view is that, whatever is causing developers to often be bad at filling in context, it isn't a deficiency in their theory of mind. (Similarly, someone elsethread is talking about how their non-developer colleagues neglected to tell them about an upcoming release. One possible explanation is that their colleagues were bad at "theory of mind", and believed that as they knew about the release, so did everybody else. But I think it's more likely that they were too disorganised to make sure that it was somebody's job to tell everyone who needed to know.) |

The "theory of mind" explanation is that those developers don't understand what context other people are probably missing.
I agree that there are of course other possible reasons.
