Learning Systems Thinking: Essential Nonlinear Skills and Practices for Software Professionals
Technology
A practical guide to applying nonlinear, systems-thinking skills to software architecture and engineering work, by a principal architect who has led initiatives for The Economist and the Wikimedia Foundation. Beck recommends it alongside Donella Meadows' 'Thinking in Systems' as one of two good starting places for engineers who want to dig into systems thinking — a natural fit given his focus on feedback loops and emergent behavior in software.
