My usual passion is photography but I have a long #career in #SystemsArchitecture and design, decades of work with #computers and #networking

I might use this social footing to share a few IT tidbits, because deep down I'm a #nerd and chances are I will be a nerd in passing.

Today's fun link is an ode to cURL.

Enjoy!

Residuality Theory: A Rebellious Take on Building Systems That Actually Survive

Today, I'm bringing you Barry O'Reilly's Residuality Theory, one of the most brainwashing approaches to software architecture I've seen in recent years. Check out my notes and findings on how and why you should consider it in your regular design practice.

I think this tallies with @peterzeihan 's view that competence is not necessarily encouraged to stick around in some leadership circles, when the priority is that the leader be surrounded by "yes people" (rather than those who understand the subject matter and try to explain why something might not be the best idea).

I hear you.

My favourite (perhaps less jarring?) example is when a court declares they have found someone guilty, and that their threshold of guilt is "on balance of odds".

I look at the lawyers and the witnesses and realise that none of them has studied actuarial or probability mathematics. I wouldn't even trust them to understand a bet on the horses. For a scientist to watch them is like observing a cargo cult. Worse, I am sure, is for a scientist to find themselves on the receiving end of such a court.

I would offer the meagre consolation that you can see the feedback loops that drive them to behave so, where they think themselves to have free will.

But, I have done something that is super cool and I have nobody to share it with, and nothing to show for it besides some passing tests.

HMU if you're a #softwareengineering , #networkengineering , #systemsarchitecture or #designpattern nerd, I'd love feedback and suggestions for improvement (or just question my sanity)
