The pleasure of working with smart colleagues is wonderful.
Nothing pays more (professionally speaking) than the moment in which you manage to perform a good job, feeling a great synchrony with a smart colleague.
The moment in which you notice that it is enough to exchange two sentences in order to comunicate a very complicated concept and the security of being understood.
The possibility of meeting a smart colleague who enrich you can be very hard.
On the contrary, the possibility of meeting a dumb colleague may be very high! The colleague making his own life harder without any (logical) reason, the colleague who generates that piece of code that you will admire for ever.
We always have to deal with stupidity, in our every day life.
Is there any tool which can help us? Well, some years ago I read an inspiring book!
"Allegro ma non troppo" by Carlo M. Cipolla.
The book is about a scientific analysis of the human stupidity. It is proposed an illuminating mathematical model and 5 theorems.
If anybody out there is reading this blog, you know that this blog is meant to be short! I am therefore proposing here just the laws and the model. If you will be touched by such illumination, then I suggest you to read the book.
