Ruth — of systems & designHere are pages related to Scope of Complexity and Time Span of Discretion
with credits to @PavelASamsonov @johncutlefish @cyetain @yvonnezlam and Nivia Henry and others :)
They expand on the pages that Yvonne added here:

Where could those 4 pages possibly go next? Welll.... right now they go to:
Each of those “with credit to” quotes (ie what is quoted on the pages upthread), contains an important idea (or set thereof). And as with anything “systemsy,” interaction across ideas (and with context, in this case your thinking-understanding and its history), gives rise to new ideas.
And that brings us back to this page..
And pretty soon you have over 500 pages — and it’s still incomplete!!!
fanf42@RuthMalan oh yes please, these resources are awesome!
@fanf42 thank you!! I needed to hear that today *in particular*
Some of the ideas are here, but i do need to update it to latest version : https://ruthmalan.com/Leadership/20221031TechnicalLeadership.pdf
Another important cluster of ideas:
@RuthMalan skimming through the book, there's SO MANY CHEAT SHEET FOR SO MANY IDEAS I HAD TO WAVE EXPLANATION FOR.
I will made a card game of it and call it the deck of thousands answers and distribute it around
@fanf42 in just the last couple of workshops, we tried this… I’m not confident about it yet… but folk have created some really great cards. Speaking of user/ops/dev, one group created an observability card, with practices for those 3 areas :)
(thank you!)
@RuthMalan hiiii
OK, consider me a fan in the live concert of the decade
It's a bit like if someone has took the time to clearly pin, summerize, annotate, keep reference, and unveil interaction of all the disruptive texts I ever read and never had the diligence and rigor to keep trace of.
Seriously, that scholar work is impressive
@fanf42 thank you!! I mean, humbling! But also it’s been A. Week. On a “tear down the ego and reconstruct” front. So super appreciated!!
@fanf42 i call it a field work — in various senses. And yes. It takes an enormous amount of care to use other people’s words to say what I want to say.

@RuthMalan :)
I'm discovering "evolve-building" in an other post, I will steal it, it's so just exactly that. What could it be in French? Le système que nous construi-voluons? Sounds ok. Will test it.
@RuthMalan of course I know nothing about you, and actually I think I discover you/your work literally a few days ago. Still, I can confidently say that your work is great. In the top 1% of whatever non vanity metric you want to use. I have few skills, but I'm often good to remark that kind of grandeur.
And you're providing it for the commons, and even if I didn't spot Ostrom anywhere yet l'm confident you know what I mean when I value whose who fight against the tragedy of the commons fable.
So.. . Yeah, these set of resources you built (and I'm pretty sure it took a lot of time and skills and will), the are a gift for us all.
So thank you very much for that gift. And even if there's only one of me who sees so much value in that gift, I'm happy to let you know it's a super gift, and I'm humbled to get it.
Cheers!
