It’s exciting to work with people who see technology as a tool to do great work. It’s exciting to see them embrace a new tool for what it can do. For what they can do that before was impossible. It’s exhilarating to be a part of that excitement.<\/p>\n
So often I see people nitpicking software for what it can’t do. You didn’t use the right tool. That’s a bad solution. This and this and these are all better.<\/em><\/p>\n You know what? Having a tool for the job and using that tool to do a great job is all you need. Use the tools you have<\/strong>. Stop pining for a slightly better version of what you have.<\/p>\n Stop criticizing the tool for what it can’t do. Do great work with the tools you have. They can be bent and molded in surprising ways.<\/p>\n Your meeting platform can be turned u to a video teleconference system. A previously inaccessible event can be made available to the public. No longer would it require air travel and interrupting your life.<\/p>\n We can bring the events of an auditorium in Washington DC to people around the country. And that is magical.<\/p>\n It is so easy to get caught up in the debate about tools. But that’s a losing play. It doesn’t matter what tools you have. It matters what you do with the tools you have. And if you can make something great then do it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s exciting to work with people who see technology as a tool to do great work.
