When Words Fail use a Whiteboard
I know it may sound cleche to state that a picture is worth a thousand words. But some things are just really difficult to communicate in text. You may have noticed a few diagrams showing up in my posts here. Well, I have found that there are times in a conversation with other programmers, and more often in conversations with non-technical collegues that I am saying, “I need a whiteboard.”
Because of this propensity to illustrate my explanations, people have jokingly said that I couldn’t talk if they took my dry erase markers away. At the same time, being able to communicate with others that are not versed in programming, databases, chemestry, or any other disapline that you find yourself will be a useful skill that will help you with your immediate project, and can advance your career.
