There ought to be a Zen lesson hidden here somewhere.

Perhaps tech companies could have kickoffs/workshops where the participants would create sand mandalas together?

Yes, this is more practical than anyone might imagine.

The guy who just poured the concreted for a foundation, does he care that much that it's torn up or not use? Probably not, even though he's likely skilled and professional.

We are far too precious.

I know for a fact that a lot of people who build real things take pride in seeing them in use and still around many years later. I think they'd absolutely be demoralized if the typical case saw their work torn up and discarded without ever being used.
Depends. Can I put the mandala in my promo packet or not?
