problem of the Internet


time management/prioritization of tasks
strongly interrupt-driven field
sometimes need allocated time just to think
plan strategically rather than tactically
unfortunately this problem pervades all levels of Internet design
i hear other fields have it too
lisa gives tutorials on this; you guys likely know more about it than i 
'overspecialization' was also mentioned
"solaris team doesn't upgrade solaris NIC, that's networking's job"
undoubtedly a large company phenomenon
inherent tension between automation and job security
