Episode 434: Learning New Lore with Kitzy
Mac Admins Podcast
Working at the same place for a long time can have some amazing benefits. Every conversation, meeting, or ticket solved is another person you met, another piece of knowledge you have that you didn’t have before and another piece of the huge puzzle that is slowly getting assembled inside your brain. Institutional knowledge can be an amazing thing, and we all love that person we work with who seems to have been there right from the beginning and just.knows.stuff.

Every conversation, meeting, or ticket solved is another person you met, another piece of knowledge you have that you didn’t have before and another piece of the huge puzzle that is slowly getting assembled inside your brain. Institutional knowledge can be an amazing thing, and we all love that person we work with who seems to have been there right from the beginning and just.knows.stuff. But does having too many puzzle pieces assembled in your mind prevent you from getting overly curious, for fear of tipping everything over? What about the excitement of starting a new job, meeting new people and discovering new ways of doing things? Today we are so happy to welcome Kitzy back to the Mac Admins podcast after a very long time to talk about rediscovering curiosity and what it’s like to walk away from being the keeper of the lore.
