Working with systems is more than writing code, it is generation of Active Knowledge.
In this article, I describe the concept and how it can be used to impact organizational decision-making.

A shorter work week benefits people and workplaces.
4-day pilot in dozens of companies for 6 months:
✔️Burnout, stress, anxiety drop
✔️Pace increases, revenue up 8.1% (37.6% over prior year)
✔️Satisfaction, balance, exercise, leisure, sleep improve
Nearly all plan to continue.
@lulumeservey@jappleby@Austen support the "second brain" approach, f.ex daily capture/ notes/ todos etc combined with organizing/ aggregating from/ connecting across your "personal knowledge base", been looking at https://t.co/96Q3kWfxma lately myself, w/ rich plugin ecosystem
People think that TDD, TBD, CD, CI, microcommits, quick turn-around, ensemble programming, continuous design, collaborative work, etc is "an advanced state" and "for experts"
They were doing it from the first day. It's not "advanced" it's just work.

it's not necessarily the reality that shapes us, but the lens through which your brain views the world .... if I know everything about your external world, I can only predict 10% of your long-term happiness. @shawnachor#positivepsychology https://t.co/MlcXwrFRLj
More and more, I'm thinking that the whole notion of an Agile Transformation is doing damage. The point is to build better software by doing things differently—improving—not to transform to or adopt Agile, whatever that means. 1/3
The standard tragedy that we keep trying to deny (because it's hard to comply):
* Capacity-to-do is finite: we can only do so much
* Time is finite: it runs out
* Opportunity is time-sensitive, and consumes capacity
@hwes@olvemaudal pondering combo of people and software as complex sociotech systems, mix in presence of tacit (implicit, embedded, embodied) knowing, and then new or changing software changes how we work, what we need, + what we think we know about those things.. (tbc over a beer or smth :) )
can software partially capture tacit knowing?
f.ex "around the edges of" things we know and how we work that's not easily put into text?
(thought inspired by @olvemaudal today, while listening to @hwes on metaphors understood differently across disciplines, "++")
@SlackHQ is it possible to capture a link to share a specific search with modifiers etc? (so that someone else get the same search result if they have same channel access)
every time you start something, you invite somebody else to interrupt you - started work is active relationships. @ourfounder on limiting work in progress @ModusInstitute
Today I spotted @hamrin suggesting we turn away from talking about "Technical Debt" and towards "Declining Technical Health" of the system. I love that shift because I find it a better expression of entropy.
70% feel cold calling/ telemarketing should be outlawed.. [no] en fjerdedel ... ville heller sitte ved siden av en gråtende baby i et fly... 66% foretrekker å ta oppvasken... 73% vil heller gå ut med stinkende søppel https://t.co/XrfKSUOQpT
