@Madisonkanna Have a look at Janette Wing’s paper “Cognitive Thinking” - does that fit as part of the foundation of computer science you’re thinking of?

It’s true that you don’t need a CS degree to become a developer. But I’m starting to think we’ve undersold the importance of having a solid understanding of computer science if you want to be a great developer.

Three words to describe your programming style 👇

@allenholub @martinnewman Getting away from linearity in building complex systems makes sense. If you want to schedule a walk through I’d be glad of the opportunity to see your process.

@martinnewman 😄. What I do is map out the entire value stream (which is a graph), then move "cards" (stickies) from bubble to bubble. It's not linear at all!

The biggest problem with Kanban boards is that they don't reflect the messy reality of software construction. We don't do things in a nice linear flow. Neither do factories. 1/4

@swardley Count me in, let’s do it.

A mapping journey into sustainability. I plan to run a set of sessions to create useable maps of the field of sustainability over a timeboxed 10 hours. There will be five sessions of 2 hours each:- Tues 5th Sept, Wed 6th, Thurs 7th, Mon 11th, Tues 12th. Each session:- * runs from 1300 to 1500 UK time * builds upon the last, so you need to be there for all * uses Discord, Miro, Zoom and OnlineWardleyMaps * governed by Chatham House rules, so unrecorded. Maps will be CC by SA. If you're interested, DM me or reply to this tweet.

@agileschools Agile is in the death agony of model collapse, core principles of incremental adaptation to change lost in a mirror hall of self referential dictums. Now just imagine how OpenAI is going to monetize that particular gem into their treasure trove of truthy tidbits.

Who writes this nonsense?

@swardley The first person I met on a recent trip to Transylvania, a cab driver who started in on the same script as my American “woke apocalypse” friends; faithful to the narrative, virtue signaling while blaming George Soros for vaccines. Remarkable consistency for half a world away.

How comes all the self-described truth-tellers, critical thinkers repeat identically the same views denying climate change, threats from vaccination and the lurking dangers of being woke? Are they working to a script?

@davefarley77 Martin Fowler noted that “The biggest issue on software teams is making sure everyone understands what everyone else is doing.” If the side effects of decomposition through analysis is the constraint, then “systems thinking” indicates the general direction of the solution.

@davefarley77 Eliyahu Goldratt said that a technological innovation was valuable only to the extent that it resolves the core constraint of the present context. We shouldn’t be looking for the next big thing without first understanding the nature of the actual limiting constraints.

What's something you thought was going to be 'THE NEXT BIG THING' but never really broke through? 👇

@molly0xFFF I lost many valued images to Google Photos, despite a concerted effort over time to export, I found it to be not possible, a got some, but Google Photos has been an overwhelmingly disappointing experience. Export is incomprehensible.

google photos' export format is absolutely deranged

"Innovation or breaking inertia is not done for the sake of doing something new. It's done in order to remove a significant limitation." —Rami Goldratt discusses the relationship between inertia and innovation with @TheKrisCox bit.ly/40lYfQ6 #tocot #innovation #podcast

@Grady_Booch It’s remarkable how well Deming’s System of Profound Knowledge holds up under questions raised by LLM applications, the first component being “A theory of knowledge”, how you know what you know. Deming refers us to C.I. Lewis “Mind and the World Order” as relevant now as then.

Raj Sisodia, author of Conscious Capitalism was asked last Monday why they chose the word Conscious. The answer also included a wonderful explanation of what awakening (or being woke) means. #woke #conscious #consciouscapitalism

Guadalupe county, central Texas, south of Austin about the same distance as Seoul is from North Korean artillery installations; just east of San Antonio, about as close as Kherson is from where Russian rain fire.

Among my companions this morning, The Black Crested Titmouse, Carolina Wren, Northern Cardinals, Eastern Bluebirds, Morning Doves, Carolina Chickadees, Chipping Sparrows, Northern Mockingbirds, American Robins, a Downey Woodpecker, and a Red Tailed Hawk.

Buried in WhatsApp conversations between then-prime minister Boris Johnson, his scientific advisers and Dominic Cummings, is an exchange which is arguably even more worrying than this headline-grabbing stories. Johnson's fundamental maths mistake... 🧵1/22
