Writing minutes is useful but has its limitations.

A few years ago I worked with two technically brilliant but somewhat unpleasant guys.

After a while I realized it was a good idea to write down everything so I made sure I coukd always point to a mail or something.

Turned out even that had its limitations. At one point we discussed something and I ponted the older one of them to a mail where I had described it. His answer:

Sure, that's what you wrote but not what you meant.

I left not too many moons later.
