Ruth — of systems & em dashes
Scanning for “appetizer” quotes —
‘Technical debt is how we describe the lack of cohesion in the system.’
— I hear @diana ’s voice in my mind, especially at parts like the last phrase in:
‘Donella Meadows defines systems thinking as how “parts together produce an effect
that is different from the effect of each part on its own.”
Relationships produce effects. Software becomes a system of software when “parts together” achieve something that could not exist without the “together” part.’
Ruth — of systems & em dashes
“For many software professionals, the biggest mindshift when thinking in systems is also the most important one: software systems are sociotechnical. When I say our systems are sociotechnical, I mean that our thinking, behaviors, and communication patterns are inextricable from the software systems we produce.”
