@donaldegray @Heliograph it is heartbreaking how #capitalists suck all life out of anything they can get their smeary hands on 😒

… updated version dating back to 12.11.2025 just got available. Thank you @donaldegray 🙏 ✅!
Related side note: there might be some additions to that mindmap coming up... 🚧 👷♂️
Next thing today:
@swardley mapping session related to:
"Quantum - Supply chain“
( related FYI: https://events.zoom.us/ev/AryXObOoxTeXqE5ciH8AzJJ4jRKBJO8eZV3DWuKUlbO0oxW5AMOU~AjldSZn9FxBal4sEKzXwAQDSWyECSAIKDRfWkvaUXZGLJh2qW871nyZ6SA )

Do you protect time for deep thinking? What does that look like in practice — or what keeps getting in the way?

When did your first instinct turn out to be wrong? And how did you catch it before it did damage?

Motivation is unreliable. Some mornings I wake up ready. Many mornings I don't. If my work depended on feeling inspired, it would happen about twice a month.

Most people think empathy is about being nice. It's not. It's about understanding how other people see and feel things — well enough that you can actually work with them, not just around them. And here's what surprises people: empathy is a skill. Which means it can be developed. The leaders who develop and practice empathy are consistently more effective than the ones who don't.

When I was a corporate employee, my calendar was always packed. Yours probably is too. Meeting after meeting. Follow-ups, a never ending task list. By the end of the day, I felt like I’d been going 100 miles an hour, and gotten further behind. The organization I worked for rewarded people who were always slammed…”busy people get more done,” was the mantra. But busy and productive are not the same thing.

The leaders I've respected most have a gap between stimulus and response. They pause. They ask a question. They get curious before they get decisive.
"What happened here?" lands differently than "Who dropped the ball?" "Help me understand your thinking" opens more than "That won't work." Curiosity isn't idle. It's a discipline.

When something goes wrong, our brains are quick to assign blame. It’s a survival mechanism. Humans process negative events as threats. The gut response to defend and protect ego.
Unless there really is a tiger (real or metaphorical), the temptation to react immediately is almost always suboptimal.

@jasongorman The diagram is BDUF.
What’s missing?
The feedback loop from step 5 to step 2.
As you mention, the user/customer.
As #simonwardley points out, we don’t really have software engineering. Engineering involves studying and correcting errors in understanding, models, and actions.
I started in the days of BDUF. And that which is old is new again. The only thing that changed is the name of the steps.
We have failed to learn, anything.
Well, we can now fail faster. Automated GIGO.

“engineering is not writing code. It is understanding the system, the failure modes, the blast radius."
Alas, most software engineering today is not engineering at all, it's a craft. The issue with vibe coding is that we haven't yet developed the practices to safely manage this, they are still co-evolving and will do so for many years. Until that time vibe coding is mostly driven by belief and faith but then software "engineering" was broken anyway, relying on reading hundreds of thousands of lines of code in order to understand something was never sustainable.
And this is one of most pressing problems in software, we are literally going from craft to faith i.e. I lack the ability to do this, so I'll trust the machine to do it for me. It might be time we actually turned software into an engineering discipline.”

Oil on Panel - 28” x 18”Throughout the Dark Tower series, Stephen King portrayed Roland's group of fighters, known as the Ka-Tet, as a circle. 1/2

THE DARK TOWER (2004)
Acrylic on Panel - 30” x 40”After illustrating THE GUNSLINGER back in 1981, it seemed only natural that I return to close this epic series that spanned three decades. 1/3

Donald Grant – Kendama
3-for-1 #VidADay. I’ve made three solo #kendama videos of my friend Donald, and collaborated with him on many more projects. (Have we told you we wrote 3 books together?) First up, his TeamKD vid from 2009. More after the break…
