teamwork

As in https://planspace.org/20200523-peopleware_productive_projects_and_teams/

"There is very little true teamwork required in most of our work." (page 136)

Connect to cooperative games, which can sometimes behave like single-player games that multiple people work together on? What games are like "most of our work"?

And how does this relate to #174?

[ajschumacher]

"It must be your friends, in some sense, who make you famous by quoting and citing you, and it pays, so I claim, to be helpful to others as they try to do their work. They may in time give you credit for the work, which is better than trying to claim it yourself. Cooperation is essential in these days of complex projects; the day of the individual worker is dying fast. Teamwork is more and more essential, and hence learning to work on a team, indeed possibly seeking out places where you can help others, is a good idea. In any case the fun of working with good people on important problems is more pleasure than the resulting fame." (page 210, Art of Doing Science and Engineering, Hamming)
