I tweet on mathematical visualization, puppies, programming, and physics. They/them.






Yesterday I noticed the office printer was working perfectly, which raised my suspicion immediately. I checked the logs and saw someone had cleared a paper jam at 3:12 p.m. No ticket, no Slack, no communication. Just silent action. I asked the office if anyone had fixed it. Everyone looked confused except one employee, who stared at his laptop a little too hard. I pulled him aside afterward. He admitted he unjammed it because “it was right there” and “took five seconds.” I told him unilateral problem-solving disrupts our culture of collaboration and that he needed to go through the right channels if he wanted to take on a new project outside of his job description. He said he didn’t realize fixing things was a chain-of-command issue. I told him everything is a chain-of-command issue. I wrote down “rogue operational autonomy” and locked the printer tray.
