In this video Scott and Rory are trying to design software. I am sure it is all done in jest but the message seems to ring true. How many times have you been so heads down on a problem that you start thinking that pasting to PowerPoint and e-mail are good solutions only to have someone look at the problem with fresh eyes and come up with a better solution. I think TechEd and most other training you go to will help you expand your developer toolbox so you can be the one erasing the jumble on the whiteboard and writing up the simple, easy solution.
