There are a lot of things in life that would be trivial if everyone was really good at what they did, had the most perfectly pure of intentions, and were omnisciently aware. Unfortunately that’s not the world we live in, and even farther from the companies most of us work for. Good technology is about figuring out shortcuts around hard problems, and “large groups of people trying to coordinate their activities across space and time” is a hard fucking problem.
