For the #CSCW2025 closing keynote, @ginasue.bsky.social discusses the myth of automation: automation uncovers and foregrounds current sociotechnical configurations. Technological innovation doesn't happen overnight, it's negotiated by people on the ground over time.

Gina Neff @ginasue.bsky.social : Innovation isn't disruption, it's negotiation.
How do you make room for negotiating innovation? Reconsider team environment and team structure. Add more time and space to figure out what works--and what doesn't.
