It seems to me that
#Ukraine has figured out how to lay a siege from the inside out.
Typically a siege prevents goods from entering the target.
Ukranian kinetic sanctions prevent goods from leaving Russia. They are rewriting everything we knew about war and I suspect there are implications for #infosec regarding institutional awareness of defense-in-depth, dependency management, etc.

I notice indicators that Ukraine's military is using iterative development cycles and continuous improvement similar to #DevOps , #TheoryOfConstraints and Lean Production.

I wonder if there's discussion of this in Ukranian/Russian language forums because I don't see much in English (or Spanish).

"If they need to chase five different people for incomplete documents, you're not going to speed up said process by adding more lawyers to the department."

"When we deploy a digital tool like email to speed up communication, or generative AI to create (sloppy) slide presentations quickly, we don’t automatically become better at our jobs. If these steps don’t improve the bottleneck in our process – the key link where the real value is produced – then, as in the chicken coop example, they’re just as likely to create pile-ups and distraction, without actually boosting our true productivity."

Excellent analysis in the article linked here -

"If you thought the speed of writing code was your problem - you have bigger problems"

And some comical turns of phrase as well :-)

Most organizations have no problem with output, but rather with responding to signals. This is a problem because when t(decision) > t(production), the system becomes structurally disconnected from reality. It is completely worthless to deliver faster if decisions take too long, because then any knowledge gained is immediately devalued.

It's worth reminding a lot of AI folks that:

Time saved by optimizing a non-constraint is not time saved for the whole system. It's not only time not saved, it's actually reducing the throughput of the whole system.

So, "saving time" in a non-constraint - doing that which should not be done in the first place - deteriorates the performance of the whole system.
