Oh man I wish I could get my (non-tech) org to do this. Instead we’ve got a twisted hellscape of docx and pptx inside MS Teams and 3 other enterprise storage apps. If anything is documented at all, that is.
Just kidding. Yea, unfortunately I think a lot of people are suffering in the age of overtooling. Need a notes app, department X is using OneNote except for Mike, who is using Notely. Department Y uses obscure Markdown notes app with great PKM linkage, but no one outside of their group understands it (tbh, neither do they)...
Notes are just the example that I landed on. I'm sure the bigger tech companies have experienced this for awhile, but it slowly disseminates to other industries as well.
Maybe I'm just using HN as therapy, but things seem to have gotten over-complicated and under-defined. A seemingly endless churn of new tools.
Trying to work with my team (management team) on standardizing SharePoint setup, file structures, notes, etc. but it is really hard to get everyone on the same page.
It's nice to see such a nice functional/detailed design around an organizational tool.
I think that’s what me and my team of managers are on to (hopefully)
As for this Artsy stuff... their give-a-damn is through the roof. A+
As empowering as software is it really can allow for chaos when it comes to knowledge base. I don’t think there’s going to be any amount of integration with any one tooling that would make a solution click with all users. It always comes back to who the individuals are and how they perceive productivity.
They may be right as an individual. Tool X may be way better for them. A lot of us are working on teams though and with that we have to learn to adapt to what works for the team.
