regarding design an organization for the agile style : I started a conversation yesterday w someone.
pre-test, something about putting yr money where yr mouth is :).
Allocate EUR 2M for the sole purpose of increasing trust, lowering fear, increasing collaboration, with measurements;
review/change bonus contracts, employee appraisals,
all that just on the Collaborate quadrant.
Then move to the Deliver (w feedback) quadrant ... but the 1st set will eliminate most cos.

A Mathematician Who Decodes the Patterns Stamped Out by Life
Corina Tarnita deciphers bizarre patterns in the soil created by competing life-forms. She’s found that they can reveal whether an ecosystem is thriving or on the verge of collapse.
I set up https://hachyderm.io/@totherotheralistair as my other place, where other people can see my posts - probably will cross post tech content, we'll see, i'm still exploring
@Joel fo realz? will read, thx
based on something I just saw, i actually got the desire to "design" an agile organization for a company --- most just do haphazard things. would love to try for a deliberate design. Am curious whether any CxO team would be up to the challenge
One week to go on my kickstarter - i'll be working on the cover and book layout this week :)

@Sarandipt thank you - hmmm, so, relative to which frame are we measuring those two axes then? i'm pretty sure I'll not work this out in my lifetime ; )
@SamirTalwar @tumbarumba
I think as you and Kyle both said, it is about creating names for idioms, and knowing the idioms and having the names are both useful, not related to how many years ago they were named
@Baltram this was a good read - thank you!
ps i couldn't read the code, it wouldn't display for some reason :(( but I did enjoy the writing and the thinking

@totheralistair I am with the Yes faction. Reason: I read this: https://kotaku.com/the-exceptional-beauty-of-doom-3s-source-code-5975610
And after thinking about it... I am no developer, I see them as artisans. Like a carpenter you have lot´s of ways to build a table or chair. But not every design lasts for centuries to come.
@kgb1001001 thank you! just read that - yep, good points indeed.

@totheralistair I had thoughts about this the last time this conversation came up and even wrote them down. https://medium.com/swlh/design-patterns-smalltalk-and-the-lost-art-of-reading-code-1727d93fd7fa
Her genes were a mixture from four egg and sperm cells instead of the normal two. Her genetics derive from two separately fertilized eggs that fused early when her mother was pregnant with her.

this is new to me:
Objects move in spacetime at the speed of light. A stationary object isn’t moving through space at all, moving through time at the speed of light.
an object moving through space at the speed of light has no speed to move through time
just saw this --- it's not as funny as it used to be hah.

just ran across this old video clip, and this last section says it all :)
for any of you who aren't on twitter or LI, the linkedin version has voice and fake head movements, is the most interesting:

trying to learn to put random thoughts on here, as I do on twitter.
e.g. the tweet stream by two people on the question of are the original Design Patterns still useful 30 yrs later - one said Yes, one said No.
the arg for No was all of them are superceded by simple functional programming lines these days.
the arg for Yes is.... ?
(I'm for Yes, but won't share my reasons quite yet).
[attempt 1 to start a convo here instead of on Tw]
interesting, this site doesn't seem to do a pre-fetch of a link, so there is no peek-ahead what the link gets you to - I might post some screen pic of the link in the future to serve that purpose
