Thanks, @settling_mud! I want people to know how intelligent, wise, and energetic you are about your work. It's really stellar.
If you haven't heard Xin speak, you should do so. If you want her help in your organization with sociotechnical correction, get in line. True story 😃
Yesterday I talked about "Systems Thinking for Impactful Changes" at OOP in Munich. Compared with @ddd_eu more weight was given to systems changes, systems (un)leadership, and thinking as an emergent property. Thanks @JuttaEckstein for inviting me. Slides: speakerdeck.com/xinyao/oop20…
I am going to toss some ideas around with @ewolff tomorrow about #systemsthinking, #softwaresystems#humansystems, stuff that didn't fit the time scope of the @ddd_eu keynote. Possible to ask questions directly, so we can explore the relevance of ST in our software craft.
Still feels surreal I delivered the opening keynote at @ddd_eu '23. Thank you @mathiasverraes
& @aardling_eu for the stage to whisper a subtle systems thinking message to a largely tech audience seeking leading-edge tech inspiration. Slides are at speakerdeck.com/xinyao/dddeu…
At the first #DDDEU in 2016, a common conversation was "I'm the only DDD advocate, how do I ...". Today, it's "I'm leading the DDD evangelism group in my company, how do I ..."
Applying systems transformation in order to act at a deeper and more effective level, while avoiding pitfalls.

#DDDEU
“Designers are either lumpers or splitter
Lumpers want to put things together so they can find them in the same place
Splitter want to cut them very small so they can look at the smaller pieces and reason them» — @kentbeck#DDDEU
ALT Jabe Bloom in from of a slide saying NO CLOSED SYSTEMS POSSIBLE...
ONLY where the boundary is, and how that enables interaction and therefor flow through the system
Boundaries are Attractors...
