Traditional vs #agile mindset in a tweet. Traditional: "I am right therefore..." Feedback tells us about variance from plan Variance=error, get back on plan Agile: "I might be wrong therefore..." Feedback tells us about variance from goal Variance=information, adjust the plan

I just had a great talk on Psychological Safety : Myths and Misconceptions If the topic interests you, you might be interested in the public workshop my co-panalist @tarascottrogue is hosting. linkedin.com/posts/industri… There is a 20% off promo code at the end of the conversation
Industrial Logic@IndustrialLogic

So much to unpack! Thank you @tarascottrogue And @mcarlson_sb for leading today's discussion about #psychsafety . Thank you all who joined in on the topic as well. For those who missed it, we have it recorded here: 👇 twitter.com/i/spaces/1RDxl…

@TotherAlistair OTOH reasonable case you are right: There is no way I can optimize machine code by hand better than a modern compiler. Computers have coded at that level better than me for a long time Machine learning refactoring seems like a reasonable thing to see in the not so distant future

@TotherAlistair BTW: I totally agree machine learning (aka statistics) is improving at an impressive rate. I'm interested to see what problems it unlocks next But as someone who started playing with neural networks in the early 1990's I see how far they have come, but also how limited they are

AI has turned the corner and is speeding up. imho big changes coming, and I'm normally not a prognosticator. Let's see if I got this one right.

That feeling when you look at an image generated by @StabilityAI and say “wow, that’s so much better than anything I could draw”. Buckle up - because with the next generation of language models you going to be saying “wow, that’s so much better than anything I could write”

@RonJeffries I'm betting an analysis of all characters in most of these stories (and assumed straight for any not explicitly stated) would find that straight is still the majority - even in queer fiction. But it ***feels*** like no longer being the majority because viability is now shared

If I refer to Scrum as “technology,” what’s your response?

@eikonne @ptevis my response :-) And a way to categories Scrum that's useful for me to understand things like the path of its adoption and how it affects the orgs

@ptevis @eikonne The academic keyword that fits better is "administrative innovation" - but that totally depends on the context of how you are using the term

@tottinge @TotherAlistair You're correct. If you look at communication networks in actual orgs they look a lot more messy. Boundary spanners are hugely important for getting anything done. And even in small orgs I've never seen a fully connected graph

@TotherAlistair Aside Q: I’ve always wondered if maybe organizations don’t have to be fully-meshed networks — can a ring or bus topology make more sense? A subsumptive architecture? Some other structure? People always assume and cite a fully meshed network… hmmm…

When they "innovated" A kind of agile without autonomous teams, evolutionary design, and continue improvement they invented a new kind of hopelessness under pressure. It is totally reasonable that people hate this kind of "agile." We hate it too.

Maybe I'm talking about sociological and historical events documented post WWII... Or maybe I'm giving some unsolicited advice to change agents who use the term Cargo Cults... 🤷🤷🤷 Either way. Something to think about.

What would help (and be a lot less colonialist in nature) would be to try to understand their perspective, give more information about the Whats & Whys beyond the visible ceremony, and generally assume competence.

What we generally get wrong about Cargo Cults is to see them as something less than fully functional, intelligent, competent adults who are acting rationally given the information they have - based on an interpretation of empirical evidence Calling them a Cargo Cult doesn't help

@tottinge @ponderings @susie_dent a next step can often be the recognition that cultures overlap - that we are part of many cultures/sub-cultures - and that code switching is both pretty common as a way to effectively communicate and constant emotional labor

@tottinge @ponderings @susie_dent okay, with this example I'm going to double down on "acculturated" - the psychologist has been "so far acculturated" to their professional field that the no longer see the context need for code switching

Word-nerds, I need you. Is there a name for a situation where something is so ubiquitous that you don't even notice it anymore? Someone is so steeped in a topic that they don't even realize that they're it into the conversation: it's ______? Maybe @susie_dent knows?

We all know the dangers of copy&paste code Ever think about the fact that copy&paste process has some of the same issues?
