I keep remembering computational kindness idea from the marvelous book Algorithms to Live By:
Try not to pass the cognitive load to others. Make them do as little work as possible -- be computationally kind.
- AareyBaba 7y agoI like that term 'computational kindness' and will use it within my team. I've noticed that for some engineers this is a natural thing to do - they summarize threads, highlight salient points and document information so other don't have to waste time. They rise within the organisation as tech leaders who communicate well. For others, this doesn't even occur to them as something worth doing.
