THE BIGGER THE SYSTEM, THE NARROWER AND MORE SPECIALIZED THE INTERFACE WITH INDIVIDUALS.
TO THOSE WITHIN A SYSTEM THE OUTSIDE REALITY TENDS TO PALE AND DISAPPEAR.
A SYSTEM IS NO BETTER THAN ITS SENSORY ORGANS.
IF IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ON CAMERA, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
THE REAL WORLD IS WHAT IS REPORTED TO THE SYSTEM.
IF DETROIT MAKES IT, IT MUST BE AN AUTOMOBILE.
THE LARGER THE SYSTEM, THE LESS VARIETY IN THE PRODUCT.
THE FUNCTION (OR PRODUCT) IS DEFINED BY THE SYSTEMS-OPERATIONS THAT OCCUR IN ITS PERFORMANCE OR MANUFACTURE.
THE SYSTEM ITSELF DOES NOT DO WHAT IT SAYS IT IS DOING.
PEOPLE IN SYSTEMS DO NOT DO WHAT THE SYSTEM SAYS THEY ARE DOING.
THE GHOST OF THE OLD SYSTEM CONTINUES TO HAUNT THE NEW.
A TEMPORARY PATCH WILL VERY LIKELY BE PERMANENT.

@jamesurquhart @SysQuotes Perverse systems structure produce problematic behavior. These behaviors are called archetypes...Rule beating is a system archetype that occurs when an agent in a system manipulates and distorts the system to circumvent the rules.....abiding by letter and not the spirit....
@SysQuotes @bterlson Also, Aristotle's "That which is in locomotion must arrive at the half-way stage before it arrives at the goal." and more: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeno%27s_…
Persistent inhumane treatment of children at the border - sleeping on concrete floors theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
What’s the time horizon on the usefulness of your big data? Do you know?
@SysQuotes I've been doing that for 15 years 😀 henrikwarne.com/2016/06/16/18-…
5G is a huge open problem for engineering since somehow we're going to have to add several hundreds of megabytes to every web page. We have an impeccable track record though so I'm sure someone will figure it out
First it was @SysQuotes as recommended by @ceejbot, now it’s “Designing Data-Intensive Applications”, by recommendation of @bureado 👏 Thank you 🙌
@stefanmaric_ Como dice Systemantics: x.com/sysquotes/stat… ('cause everything is a system)
@CatSwetel I really suck at choosing : For me it was the writings/talks of @jessitron, @rebeccawb & @ruthmalan Also a lot of the work of @Grady_Booch and Barbara Liskov And all the DDD stuff also the book quoted by @SysQuotes and everything in this list x.com/malk_zameth/st…
I mean the most important Book in a dev’s life is “le petit prince” by st exupery Followed closely by the myth of sysiphus by Albert Camus Then thinking in systems Then thinking fast & slow Then design of everyday things So I can’t recommend just one (But le little prince)
You can find more great quotes from the book on @SysQuotes ✌️
Evergreen tweet
THE GHOST OF THE OLD SYSTEM CONTINUES TO HAUNT THE NEW.
Periodic reminder that @SysQuotes was written by a pediatrician, first published in 1975, and was not specifically about software. Software-based systems have a lot in common with other systems: x.com/sysquotes/stat…
A TEMPORARY PATCH WILL VERY LIKELY BE PERMANENT.
@ReinH @allspaw Gall calls this "Satir's Summation" in The Systems Bible (cc @SysQuotes).
@johncutlefish "but he stresses that the goal isn't to target underperformers..." I'm reminded of this lesson about complex systems from John Gall: IF IT PUTS A WEAPON IN YOUR HAND IT IS AIMING AT SOME KIND OF VIOLENCE. — @SysQuotes
@DaveSabine @jamesdsteele @SysQuotes Thank you, also love @SysQuotes they get me thinking as I don't always understand their quotes.
