Hiding complexity hurts us when we need to explain effort, cost, budgets, timelines... yet we need to create abstractions and simplify, so we can reason about complex problems. How can we find the right balance? Here's a way you can do both! #complexproblems

Why we shouldn’t hide complexity

We work really hard to hide complexity behind beautiful abstractions, but that creates a problem with "invisible complexity." Here's how to save your team a lot of headache.

Imagine if someone mapped my #Tutor #Mentor library the way Gene Bellinger has mapped his. See Gene's work at app.thebrain.com/brain/f12886... #SystemsThinking #DataViz #ComplexProblems

This is an introductory page on Gene Bellinger's "2nd Brain" site where he uses a relationship mapping tool to organize "everything" he touches that seems meaningful to him. Click on any of the statements on the screen at the left and a new map appears. Explanation of the info on the map is at the right.
