Systems Thinking for Developers - JESSICA KERR | Craft Conference 2021

This talk was recorded at Craft Conference 2021. Jessica Kerr from Jessitron LLC spoke about systhemsthinking. "Good programmers are great linear thinkers. We can model our programs’ execution. The great master of logical, rigorous thinking was John Von Neumann, mathematician. Progenitor of modern computer architecture, formalizer of quantum theory. When programs join a distributed system, and when we join a team, certainty becomes elusive. Linear thinking is not enough. Contemporary to Von Neumann was Gregory Bateson, anthropologist. Progenitor of systems thinking, raiser of octopuses. From stories of these two scientists, Jess draws a collection of patterns from systems thinking that help in code, in software, and in life."

The event was organized by Crafthub.
