@cyetain I’ve seen that more than once. Never pleasant no matter what role you have.

I just today discovered that not only are colocate and collocate different words with different meanings but they are pronounced differently as well. I had always thought it was just different spellings.

@SKHolt @zenpundit @MC_UPress I actually have no idea…it’s not a human narrating the book but more a “text to voice” reading. I haven’t listened to it.

Just found out from @MC_UPress that “A New Conception of War” is now in its FIFTH printing. I never expected a second print run, let alone five. Which means I really need to get cracking on Boyd volume II 😬 Meanwhile, email the Press at mcu_press@usmcu.edu for a free hard copy!

@TheKrulakCenter Are the recordings from the #AY23 Innovation session going to be available? I’d love to rewatch some of them

@snowded @DigitalBourne @nodosenlared The idea of operating at a cadence is a part of both Lean and TOC though. Tuning a bespoke bike is aimed at an optimal point. Its harder to maintain the best cadence the further off the design conditions. Fatigue, incline, etc change the cadence and the performance

1/6: Based on actual industrial data, Kanban beats Waterfall and Scrum for total cost of software development and delivery! 🔥🔥🔥 Will simply switching to Kanban improve software development performance? 🧵

@cyetain The epitome of changing requirements but likely less violent than Game of Thrones Driven Development

@cyetain @somesheep Reminds me of curve fitting. You draw a straight line through the data then realize that a curve is better. At some point you end up with a lengthy polynomial that goes through every data point—and is useless.

@cyetain I particularly like the trade off between cost of integration and cost of enforcement. There’s clearly a min cost but it’s going to vary based on org structure, skill, system criticality, etc. Great visual of a complex issue

@cyetain Which is often why the necessary changes are more than just introducing a new method and why tech only planning process improvements often fail

@cyetain Sort of both/and since nearly always in order to have a planning process that works will require a change in technical and social practices.

@conways_law @hollingworthpat I’ve been thinking of emergence recently. Some we can predict and depend on. But another type is unpredictable in advance (but seems it should be afterwards). Models can’t predict the 2nd type since they are not in the model. We often confound the 2 types.

The missing theoretical piece we don't have language for and that can't (yet?) be expressed linearly on paper: emergent phenomena arising from network effects. And it has to be understandable in middle school because it will change the way we all think about politics.
Mel Conway@conways_law

The journalism process we have is good at finding heroes and villains, but not good at finding solutions. How to fix that? Stop thinking in terms of individuals as causal, and start thinking in terms of network effects. In that sense, we're still on the starting line.
