> One of my biggest lightbulb moments in systems theory class was realizing that even humans who may never directly interact within the scope of your design are very much still stakeholders
Exactly, very true. It is funny.. a couple years ago and inspired by @aral tooting about it, I started practicing avoidance of the word "user".
This now comes very natural to me, to the extent that so many uses of the word really poke me in the eye with how artificial, unnatural, distancing, and yes.. even inhumane they are.
#CodingIsSocial #people! We "social code the social code" of #society.
"User" is a #tech word, same as "Reverse proxy" or "Factory class". And its a leaky #abstraction that serves to lose all #nuance, and is best avoided. Furthermore it implies an #ownership relationship between devs and their captivated audience, that doesn't, shouldn't exist.
I'm behind schedule on a #ParadoxOfEmergence blogpost, may address this.. https://discuss.coding.social/t/sx-sustainable-ecosystem-evolution-see/836
Ditch use of #user! ✊

Luckily this 👁️ focus shift is slowly gaining a foothold within #FOSS circles. Driven by the sheer unsustainability and unhealthy, unproductive collaboration environments - characterized by the infamous telltale stories of deep disillusionment and often burnout crises of former passionado's leaving the field.
"Show them and they will come" just isn't true. #CodingIsSocial and is a 💃🕺 choreographed dance of #people and balaning their needs, until a #FreeSoftware artifact rolls from the pipeline.

"The Future of Software Development is Software Developers"
Of course it is. And it is for anyone who can write a neat script or a macro, hack a nice little website together, selfhost that infra, and do all the countless other creative things that happen in any good #FreeSoftware development lifecycle.

In this talk at an #AI conference, you only need to watch the conclusion at the end. Only watch 2 secs. until you heard this..
> Software is a human endeavor [..] AI changes everything about how we code. But in fact I don't think it changes *anything* about how #software fails.

💥 BOOM.. #CodingIsSocial. Period.
Human endeavor to satisfy human needs and package them into proper solutions. -
