We can fall into a trap, believing things happen synchronously in a predefined order. They don't–at least not in scalable systems, and certainly not at Starbucks. "What Starbucks can teach you about (software) scalability" on our blog:

When you're trying to set culture, you need to prioritize high-trust environments and the delivery of feedback. You cannot let yourself be "casually cruel in the name of being honest" even just a little bit or trust and culture will degrade. - @rstephens.me @ #monktoberfest

And I draw on Mary Parker Follett’s work; it’s from ~100 years ago, but not only deserves a place in the formative history of the system design (and leadership) field, but in the discourse that helps shape our understanding and approaches today.

page from material linked upthread, with quotes:

The "Law of the Situation"
"Our job [..] how to devise methods by which we can best discover the order integral to a particular situation."
DYNAMIC
ADMINISTRATION
- Mary Parker Follett

"understand the situation, must see it as a whole, must see the interrelation of all the parts [..] must do more than this. He [sic] must see the evolving situation, the developing situation.
His wisdom, his judgment, is used, not on a situation that is stationary, but on one that is changing all the time."
— Mary Parker Follett, 'The Giving of Orders'

"That's always our problem, not how to get control of people, but how all together we can get control of a situation."
— Mary Parker Follett

Likewise for me, a huge improvement for me was shifting from “I want to deliver impact by being right and building correct solutions” to “I want to deliver impact by helping us reach mutual understanding, healthy communication, and building the right environment”

It makes a huge difference

Are you referring to ServiceInsight?
particular.net/serviceinsight

We've recently ported its functionality over to the webapp ServicePulse, for example:

* Saga diagrams:

Or is it something else?

A key difference here is that while either can be incorrect, the structure of Wikipedia *creates context* and the structure of LLMs *destroys context*

Wikipedia has linked sources and an edit history showing where information came from and who added it when

An LLM just generates text

Eugene Vinitsky 🍒 @eugenevinitsky.bsky.social · Apr 26

Some of the anti-AI stuff feels a bit like when people would say "don't use Wikipedia as a source." It's just like anything else, a piece of information that you weigh against multiple sources and your own understanding of its likely failure modes

(1) methodologically, if you try to derive the “secret formula” by only studying iconic successes, then you’re doing social science wrong.

It’s called selecting on the dependent variable. You have to also examine the failures if you want to identify differences.

Microsoft’s commitment to backwards compatibility is something else.

Created this Windows 8 app 13 years ago (2012). Last updated 11 years ago (2014). Lost the source code soon after so couldn’t update since even if I wanted.

And it still works on Windows 10 & 11. Just wow
