@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?

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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

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...
