Закон Конвэя внутри нас: инженерные системы ломаются по тем же причинам, что и люди

Linux пропитан магией. Тип файла определяется не по расширению, а библиотекой magic, которая смотрит на сигнатуру первых байтов. В системе живут демоны, процессы могут работать в режиме daemon, а исполняемые файлы хранятся в формате ELF и разбираются утилитой readelf. Это похоже на шутки старых разработчиков, но они появились не случайно. Инженерные системы наполнены метафорами, потому что так проще думать о сложном, объяснять невидимое и работать с тем, что нельзя потрогать руками. Со временем мы привыкаем к этой «магии» и перестаём замечать, что вместе с ней перенимаем определённый способ мышления. Закон Конвэя обычно применяют к организациям и архитектурам. Но этот принцип работает и на уровне отдельного человека. Каждый из нас тоже система со своими процессами, ограничениями, шаблонами мышления и сбоями.

...John says if you focus on building the capability in the organization to understand variation and to appreciate how to use #data - then you are on the right path, and can increase your influence in addition.

“You need to build into the organization things like a focus on pleasing the customer instead of pleasing your boss.” When combining all of these methods, that is when your #leadership is going to be most effective...

"Too often I see simplistic thinking used to accept that the results were good so what we did was wise or the results were bad so what we did was unwise. Sometimes those conclusions have merit. Sometimes they don’t. The results matter but understanding the nature of those results is important..."

“Toyama’s research reminds us that there are few one-size-fits-all solutions. If technology is going to improve the lives of the world’s poorest, it must be grounded in a deep understanding of human behavior and an appreciation for cultural differences.”

Permaculture Instructor Andrew Millison visits a site in Oregon that has installed an series of built ponds that have renewed the water supply in a dry valley. Thinking systemically to use the water falling from the sky to enrich land (instead of just quick runoff wasting all the water).

"Good process improvement practices include:

- standardized improvement process (pdsa, or whatever)

- Going to the gemba – improvement is done where the work is done. You must go to the where the action is. Sitting in meeting rooms, or offices, reading reports and making decisions is not the way to improve effectively.

- evidence based decision making..."

"give them enough rope and well designed systems that give them freedom, but also use rope to provide support. You can use rope to help people get themselves to new heights, not just to hang themselves. And you can use rope to give people freedom but also safety.

You want systems that let people take on challenges without too many restrictions but with enough support and training that you don't leave them hanging..."
