#dddeu — Public Fediverse posts

I have an unarticulated proto-thought in my head that there is a systems perspective missing with respect to AI. It is missing in general, and I didn't see at #DDDEU where I perhaps had hoped to see it expressed.

Farewell Antwerp. Had amazing three days. Surrounded by so many brilliant minds, it felt almost surreal. Thanks @dddeu for a great conference!

Walking around at #DDDEU in a post-talk daze is pretty nice.

Enjoying a really insightful talk by @einarwh at @dddeu, one of the few that brings the full consequence of seeing software development as a socio-technical system. In this case, setting up APIs between teams and the socio-technical API patterns he has observed. #DDDEU

Spectacular end-of-the-day keynote by @Felienne at #DDDEU

Case studies in Residuality by @roundcrisis and @ChrisSimonAu at #DDDEU

Published: Beyond the Shades of Conway's Law - Foundations: The Origin & The Mirroring Principle

Two years after my talk at #DDDEU, I finally wrote up my learnings.

This is part 1, the foundations:
- Conway's thesis
- similar observations in the Product Design and Organisation Design community

All based on Simon's The Architecture of Complexity.

With influences from Emery & Trist's Causal Textures.

All brought together with The Mirroring Principle.
