Odds are he won't care if it is his mistake or yours. If you feel guilty not telling him, tell him. "Hey, when we talked I think I said v2 - I'm working in Angular JS which is actually Angular 1." Do it like it isn't a big deal - because it isn't, you're just fixing some information. If you were communicating in writing (email/text) then say, "Hey when you sent me the v2 position I looked back at what I wrote and I typed v2 instead of v1." Fix it now and it's not a big deal | |
