Software is losing its Magic

How many times have you looked at your phone and wondered what has happening? What about reading the KB article referenced in a new piece of software that is now six months too old? What about trying to find a link you just saved on your phone only to find out that it only works on your phone app and doesn’t transfer to your desktop?

Teach Your Own Course

We STILL don't want to write it down.

After all this time. After all these methodologies. After all these books. After all these meetings. We still don’t want to do the simplest of tasks to convey and idea from one person to the other. We still don’t want to write it down. I’m not sure if it’s because we’re rushed, we don’t want to, the methodology told us we didn’t have to or it’s because we no longer know how.
