Timeline and Pattern Language
My co-worker Bruce and I were exchanging emails about "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintainence" when he mentioned the following items. Seems like there is much that, as "System Architects," can learn from them. What do you think?
From Ms. Meadow's item in Timeline:
Systems thinking has taught me to trust my intuition more and my figuring-out rationality less, to lean on both as much as I can, but still to be prepared for surprises. Working with systems, on the computer, in nature, among people, in organizations, constantly reminds me of how incomplete my mental models are, how complex the world is, and how much I don't know.
