So not only was this amazingly cool, but we actually learned a lot about one of the ways
that information technology is actually making a pretty big performance difference these
days. What they did on this team was simply infeasible—the speed with which they did it,
simply infeasible certainly twenty years ago, probably ten. Maybe even five years ago they
couldn’t have done this work as quickly. And what we learned from watching this was that
there are some functions—engineering, tinkering on a test track—some jobs that are very
much accelerated, revolutionized by information technology.
