I fail to see how a box's position on a digital whiteboard is considered more up for debate than a box on a real whiteboard. Have you ever used a real whiteboard in a collaborative environment? When you move it, you have to redraw all the lines to and from it. Also, what is your point?
- lanstin 3y agoThe mechanism of using a general purpose computer is so engaging that people stop to argue about the color of the bike shed instead of attending to the conceptual,world where the problem they are trying to solve lies. People spend their mental energy optimizing trivial things instead of writing the great American novel of our century or creating an infrastructure to allow decentralized, non-advertising based products that bring the benefits of networked communications and less of the harm. At least I think that is the point.
- iraqmtpizza 3y agoThat has not been my experience. But a physical whiteboard doesn't get distributed to millions of people over potentially hundreds of years or more. If it were, then at that point you may as well take the time to get it right. You contribute to bikeshedding when you whine about how the position of the box doesn't matter. Let them put it wherever they want then if it doesn't matter.
