Yes, we coders form different teams on the go. Also with looking at the requirements of that bugfix. Concentrating on that thing now, focused, quite similar to an emergency surgery as you pointed out. Also, while we are talking about doctors, they often regularly meet and exchange ideas to resolve the hardest medical questions. Diagnosing rare diseases from sharing insights. Empathy towards the patient to ask them the right questions that uncover the specific details of symptoms showing where to look at. Replacing patient with customer, 'doesn't work' becomes a detailed bug report ready to be fixed.

Empathy towards the patient really helps! It’s why I have stuck with my current MD for so many years.
