Brains have been known to hurt after whiteboarding sessions. IT in general comes with its ups and downs. Clients can get frustrated, peers can get upset, mistakes happen at the personal and company level. It is stressful like anywhere else. What is different is that people and the company are encouraged to confront mistakes and weaknesses, have an overwhelmingly positive response, and end up with a positive (or at least neutral) outcome.
