Performing in any job is like playing an instrument.
Someone can teach you the chords, and you might pick up their influence, but your attitude and idiosyncrasies will come through in the sound.
Working on web project, or any creative project, is like playing in a band. It takes teamwork. And watching the NFL playoffs, or going to work tomorrow, you’ll notice that good teamwork is hard to find. You have to have the right people around you. Like playing in a band, people need to know their roles, give space to the rhythms of their bandmates, respond to cues, understand harmonies and voicings, and be there to support the sound in the way that’s best for the song, its melody, and its story.
Frequently, too many people want to be out in front, but lack the juice to really perform.
Some won’t make the cut. Some are destined to be soloists.
But the bigger the show, the more important it becomes to listen and play together with your bandmates.
Otherwise, all that results is noise.
