When my AI coding assistant falls into a rabbit hole, what usually works is

=> PROVIDING RELEVANT LOGS

typically from the sub-system/component where things hit the wall.

Why doesn't my dumb AI assistant ask for it?

... It’s also expanded my network to other researchers, practitioners and such which has enriched me personally. I learn and grow with each collaboration in the network and have made some great friends too.

INTERVIEW EXCERPT
==================

Q: How has Complexity-thinking made a difference in your work?

A: It’s given me permission to slow down and think and be intentional. It’s also informed the techniques and practices I’ve added to my own toolbelt. ...

Even in the face of exponential change, there are ways to find a method in all this madness. Ways to find opportunities from the unexpected.

Doing otherwise somehow remembers me the waste. effort and delays I find in big pull-requests reviews and long lived branches merge as opposed to TBD /cc @tdpauw.bsky.social

This approach is greatly reducing my cognitive effort to learn from, steer, and/or fix what the LLM is doing and allowed me to reduce wasteful stints in the wrong direction that nowadays LLMs still do now and then.

Each small, self-contained step is easier to review, roll back, or build on top of.

I find myself doing what I was doing when pairing with junior devs - telling them to list first what they intend to do, and then proceed one small step at the time after clarifying what changes they intend to do and how - but now I do it with the LLMs instead.

... and therefore we tend to approach complex problems as though they are complicated. This is one of the main reasons why change and
transformation initiatives are largely failing.

Q: How has Complexity-thinking made a difference in your work?

A: My studies of biological systems plus Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) allow me to view human organizations as organisms and not machines. This completely changes how I approach the corporate work I do ...

Interview with Carol Mase: excerpts from the new 2nd Ed of my new book

Thanks to Carol Mase, social anthropologist and author, for accepting the interview 🙏

The deeper understanding of - absolute value of life even in its worst times Vs personal liberty for the terminally ill - was sacrified for cheap persuasion

Is rhetoric like this now a detrimental force?
Where's the space for collective discurses that matter & help us reach a deeper understanding?

In politics, activism, online, persuading & winning the argument overshadows the pursuit of deeper understanding.

Take the recent parliamentary Assisted Dying Bill debate: opposition centred on the risk of mistakes when allowing terminally ill patients the right to a peaceful dignified death.
