Lamy 2000 is so amazingly smooth. I really like having the piston fill, instead of cartridges and adapters. There's more ink, and it's more reliable with less fuss and mess.
Anyone have an example of taking a low functioning team to a high functioning one? Building trust, changing culture.
It's one thing to just say "here's the ideal".
And another to say if you're in a sub-optimal place, "just leave."
But how to change a poor habit place into a good habit place.

Being able to have a customer accept what the output looks like and then listening to when the page changes would be great for giving non-technical people control over passing tests.
How much of the obstacles that we face are there just to 'resist' the shining light we each could bring into the world? Or the work we were meant to do?
I was surprised by no discussion of ordinality. Cardinality was something I also specifically expected.
Counts of things are described here, but the greeks went to great lengths with geometry to discover numbers (and even killed people who came up with irrational answers)
Nothing came of it? The whole Virtual Office Website (VOW) thing got created.. before meetings NAR and RESO intone legalese about encouraging competition. There's a lot of fear that the FTC will step back in and do something. With the level of MLS balkanization, innovation has a bunch of high hurdles.
