That‘s Gutenberg’s thing? A bunch of stamps? I feel like I could have come up with that pretty easily. Not really clear why it took humanity 5,000 years to go from figuring out how to write to creating a bunch of manual stamps. I guess it’s not that I’m unimpressed with Gutenberg—I’m neutral on Gutenberg, he’s fine—it’s that I’m unimpressed with everyone else.

More conversations meant more ideas bumping up against each other, which led to many more discoveries clicking together, and the pace of innovation soared.

According to Wikipedia, there’s something called Metcalfe’s law, which states that “the value of a telecommunications network is proportional to the square of the number of connected users of the system.”

Your average Gen Y programmer bears little resemblance to the unskilled and semiskilled laborers of the past. Just as technology has evolved, so must our organizational practices.

Complex systems can be designed, but to do so you must first sketch the outline. Only then can you start filling in the detail.

In all types of complex systems, from codebases to architecture, clarity comes from understanding first the whole as a series of modules, then zooming in to think of each module individually. John Gall wrote in his eponymous law that: A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. The inverse proposition also appears to be true: A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be made to work. You have to start over, beginning with a working simple system.

The majority of industries are far more stable than software development. That’s good — most people generally prefer driving across bridges that weren’t designed using whiteboard markers and engineered by Googling for error messages.

It took some self-reflection but then I had my “Eureka!” moment. I adjusted my personal definition of what Work Life Balance meant. I used to think it was just how much time you spent at work, or how much work you were doing at home. But, I realized it’s really about how my work life affects my personal life.

Looking at someone else’s map can work. However, we’ve found a more effective approach is to have these unofficial designers and reward-setting stakeholders participate in making the maps themselves.

The reward systems make this more convoluted. In many organizations, delivering features is rewarded more than solving customer problems.

Those amiable goals can conflict with a great user experience. Sometimes it takes longer to develop a great user experience, because you have to spend the time researching and learning what the users need. It can cost more to do all that research and iteration, instead of building the first thing to come to mind. And more features often increase the complexity of the product, thus diminishing its value to the user and raising support costs.

To make things worse, the cadre of unofficial designers are often rewarded for something other than making the user happy. They are rewarded for achieving business goals, such as shipping on time, reducing costs, or for providing a list of competitive advantages.

When they are designing, they are making their intention real in the world. They render their intent.
