#introduction

My name is Matilda, I am a member of Greenheart Co-op. Interested in #interactiondesign, #systemsdesign and #servicedesign. Specifically in the spirit of e.g #VictorPapanek, #DonellaMeadows. Also in interested in #economics in the spirit of #KateRaworth (#DoghnutEconomics ). Furthermore interested in #tech #frontend #GrowOwnFood #mushroomfarming #TechCooperatives #neuroscience #cognitivescience

Today it struck me that #systemsDesign and #informationArchitecture planning are 95% emotional labor 5% technical understanding. People who write great code may set up healthy structures but they only do so when a shared model has been agreed upon by the stakeholders. This sets consensus building as the first essential skill set needed to get the job done. You want a great systems architect? How are their hostage negotiation skills?

SYSTEMS + DESIGN. Gonna try to read this book over next few evenings. New. Day job has me battling system cruft and technical debt and I want to make sure I’m not encoding new cruft myself.
