Some crowds are tougher than others, and our Hacking Work talk at Vancouver University British Columbia met its share of skepticism here. At the end everyone left the room smiling, not in small part due to our willingness to truly debate the topics of the book. This was a great reminder of how rewarding it can be to engage in real discussion of the methodologies we wrote the book about, and how useful it is to step outside the echo chamber of like-minded individuals we all too often find ourselves in.
