Hearing this, I have to wonder why Steve Jobs bothered designing a headquarters and talking about collaboration and having spaces to interact with others - moments of inspiration, unplanned discussions etc. I would be very cautious talking about any of the problems I was trying to solve with my colleagues if I knew I might breach an NDA and be fired. Culturally, is there some sort of understanding / internal guide rails on this, or do you just kinda hope you don't screw up?
