Coordination is bad.

· Bits and Bobs 9/29/25
  • Coordination is bad.
    • It's both extremely expensive and also leads to bland consensus.
      • Lowest common denominator, at great expense.
    • Collaboration is great: upside generation, emergent results better than what could have been done individually.
      • But it's also extremely expensive and therefore precious.
    • Apply collaboration where it can lead to great results, but be intentional about it.
    • Misapplied collaboration reduces to coordination.
