In the late 14th century, the townspeople of Salisbury, England were summoned to their cathedral by a machine. It was a wonderful and strange device. It consisted of a collection of iron gears and wheels and bars, all arranged in a cube. It tugged endlessly on ropes hanging above. #from-pocket #itfttt #career #productivity #pub

I work on a team that fixes complex systems under time pressure. My teammates have different skill sets, different priorities, and different levels of expertise. But we all have to troubleshoot and solve problems together. This is really hard to do effectively. #from-pocket #itfttt #productivity #programming #pub

Here’s a funny thing about work: We spend more time with our colleagues than with our friends and family. Yet more often than not, we don’t really understand our co-workers—because being honest with one another is scary. When a teammate’s lack of organization annoys us, we vent to others. #from-pocket #itfttt #career #leadership #management #productivity #startup #pub
