    Weird when a person who could give attribution, doesn’t…

    And weird when authors do give attribution, and they get lambasted for “regurgitating”…

    This ✨free✨ (and free to share) 145 page ebook might sound like a lot, but it can be encountered at different levels: glancing through the slides and quotes, and reading a page here or there; reading a section; reading the book:

    https://www.ruthmalan.com/Bredemeyer/20241021SystemDesignIntro.pdf

    It emphasizes system design as:
    • contextual
    • co-evolutionary
    • co-active
    • considerate

    ‘The British sociologist Marilyn Strathern [..] taught me that “it matters what ideas we use to think other ideas (with)” [..] It matters what matters we use to think other matters with; it matters what stories we tell to tell other stories with; it matters what knots knot knots; what thoughts think thoughts, what descriptions describe descriptions, what ties tie ties. It matters what stories make worlds, what worlds make stories.’

    — Donna Haraway, Staying With The Trouble

    “A seat at the table is no good unless design is part of the strategy. To find the right place to apply leverage, designers need to embrace systems thinking.”

    “Designers do not, I think, have a coherent sense of what systems thinking is (I have heard it used to refer to design systems more than once and I am sorry to say, that is not it). A good start on systems thinking is Indi Young’s piece on thinking critically”

    Aside on the System Seeing Journal Starter Kit: it is smuggling all manner of systems donkeys, in terms of the explicit areas of practice as well as the quotes as offers of “matter to think with.”

    Still, it emphasizes models and diagramming, so this struck me earlier today:

    “For systems practitioners then, modelling is core to the discipline — if you’re not modelling you’re not doing systems”

    — Patrick Hoverstadt

    “One of the best and most designerly ways of untangling that web is through diagramming. Ruth Malan has composed an excellent diagramming toolkit for systems seeing and Karen Holtzblatt’s contextual design remains a priceless resource.”

    Denial of the uncertainty induced by climate shifts is simply … beyond reason… Which regions will be hit by harsh droughts? Wild fire? Floods? Add to that: Bird flu? Pollution? Which countries will need to rely more on others this year for food? But sure, instead of nourishing mutual relationships, we’re doing what now? Farmers having fun??

    “Institutional memory comes in two forms: people and documentation. People remember how things work and why. Sometimes they write it down and store that information somewhere. Institutional amnesia works similarly. The people leave and the documents disappear, rot, or just forgotten”

    If you are, or know anyone, interested in these ideas and practices:

    (System design and architecture chapbook pdf) https://www.ruthmalan.com/Bredemeyer/20241021SystemDesignIntro.pdf

    the workshop provides an opportunity to explore them. The setting is collaborative, and we’ll have fun but also get work done. So that we experience, and reflect, and co-evolve our design sense and sensibilities.

    Can I use that image on the program???

    :D

    Joking in nervous already, obviously. The more important point is that it is so much about who participates … and the goodwilling pitching in to the experience. Still… there’s anxieties… Will people sign up? Does humility and collaborative engagement have a venue “in this economy”…

      100 Demon Dialogues
      from Lucy Bellwood
      In 2017 I set out to participate in The 100 Day Project for the second time. Taking a character I'd first started exploring in 2015, I began posting a daily dialogue with the little voice in my head who tells me I'm no good. The resulting project connected me to people all over the world trying to overcome their inner demons and get on with Making Good Art.

    “The model was developed by the Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, which claims that R1 matches or even surpasses OpenAI’s ChatGPT o1 on multiple key benchmarks but operates at a fraction of the cost.”

    “To create R1, DeepSeek had to rework its training process to reduce the strain on its GPUs, a variety released by Nvidia for the Chinese market that have their performance capped at half the speed of its top products, according to Zihan Wang”

    Mitigating and preparing for climate impacts *is* economic development, and organizations, cities, states and countries that get on that, are being smart — under pressure… This is *short term* thinking now.

    “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.”

    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.’
