Very interesting stuff, both this article and the one originally posted. This stood out to me: > This is also from The Soul of a New Machine: One of the engineers in the book burned out and quit and he left a note that read: “I am going to a commune in Vermont and will deal with no unit of time shorter than a season.” The idea of slowing things down is a very interesting idea to me. I'm fairly certain that all the fluff in the world about moving fast actually slows us down in the long run. I also really need to read The Soul of a New Machine.
