Note from the editor
Here's an open secret: teamwork is really f'ing hard. But teamwork isn't going away. In fact, it's only becoming more important in a world where problems are too complex for even a "lone genius" to solve. Smells Like Team Spirit shares stories of teams who tackle little pieces of the collaboration equation - their tips, tricks, successes, failures… warts n' all.
