mastodon 4.7.2gardening architect - unfolding growth between order and chaos
What a great recap and reflections on my talk about sociotechnical complexity last year's KanDDDinsky, written by @smallcircles@social.coop 🙏. I couldn't have written it better myself - great examples from fediverse and SX (Social Experience). https://discuss.coding.social/t/sx-perspectives-app-centric-fediverse-vs-needs-based-peopleverse/675/3 The talk itself: https://youtu.be/wAav2VX2kd8
Still feels surreal that I delivered the opening keynote at Domain-Driven Design Europe 2023, "Systems thinking in large-scale modeling". It was both exciting and vulnerable to share episodes from a sociotechnical reality, where the deeply systemic and deeply personal are often one and the same thing. A big thank-you to @mathiasverraes@mastodon.social and Aardling for allowing me the stage to whisper a subtle systems thinking message to a largely tech audience seeking leading-edge tech inspiration.

Heading soon to @oredev@mastodon.social exploring how modeling can become a way of leading complexity. 🌿
From work ↔ collaboration ↔ conversation — new modeling fronts will be explored using relational methodology and sociotechnical architecture.
