I met him when I interviewed him for <a href=\"\/blog\/about-the-one-minute-commute\">The One Minute Commute<\/a> and he&#8217;s always been helpful and kind.  He&#8217;s also really smart most of the time.  <\/p>\n<p>All of this is why I clicked when he posted to Facebook asking for help with <a href=\"http:\/\/aza.etherpad.com\/iteration\">an article he&#8217;s writing for Wired Magazine<\/a>.  He posted the article with <a href=\"http:\/\/etherpad.com\/\">Etherpad<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p>I gave him some edits and comments along with a few other people and today he said thank you.  The message went to his Facebook friends:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n    Thanks to everyone who helped me with the draft on Government by Iteration for Wired. You are all way smarter than me.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It may not look like much, but that one simple message made me feel happy I&#8217;d helped him.  Aza isn&#8217;t saying he&#8217;s stupid or that we&#8217;re all geniuses, and it doesn&#8217;t feel like false modesty.  He&#8217;s saying that getting help makes us all smarter.  It made me feel like part of his team.<\/p>\n<p>These little gestures are what makes team communication work.  It&#8217;s the difference between people you&#8217;re willing to work with and people you want to work with.
