"Organizations which design systems (in the broad sense used here) are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations."
— Melvin E. Conway, 1967, in How Do Committees Invent?

‘IETF working groups are characterized by frank exchanges and robust conversations. […] #Confrontation is a test, a way to guarantee high-quality contributions.’

"Once something works, however ungainly it is, the attention moves elsewhere. Security is a business expense that, if it works, has no visible effect whatsoever."

"Unending ransomware attacks are a symptom, not the sickness", writes Rupert Goodwins: https://www.theregister.com/2025/05/12/opinion_column_ransomware/

@sociology @socialpsych 🧵

On #organizations:

Here "Sociopaths" is a shorthand for the Protestant-Ethic will-to-power types who drive an organization to function despite itself.

"Among the Sociopaths, status is irrelevant. Table stakes and skill at using them is what matters. Sociopaths pay attention to what you have, and how well you bargain with it. Not who you are."

"You don’t get what you deserve; you get what you negotiate." 🧵

"What distinguishes #Powertalk is that with every word uttered, the power equation between the two speakers shifts just a little. Sometimes both gain slightly, at the expense of some poor schmuck. Sometimes one yields ground to the other. Powertalk in other words, is a consequential language."

Let's mean "Losers in the economic sense: those who have […] traded freedom for a paycheck in short. […] Losers have two ways out, which we’ll get to later: turning Sociopath or turning into bare-minimum performers. The Losers destined for cluelessness do not have a choice."
