I’m so tired of travelling and trying to work more locally.

Har flyttat mina barn till en engelskspråkig skola och skillnaden mellan den och det handfallna kaoset i kommunalskolan är enormt. Bästa beslut vi har fattat. Fast mina barn har engelska som modersmål.

If it hadn’t been for people like Semmelweis daring to think beyond the limitations set for them, instead of modern medicine we may have decided to go all in on putting more leeches on faster. This feels relevant for some reason…

Really interesting thread, thanks.

People claim they get 10x productivity boosts with AI coding tools. After my recent experiments with Claude Code, I'm starting to think we're not using these tools the same way. Or that they’re just lying. Or both. 1/

My PhD touches on hypernetworks, complexity, and philosophy in connection to software engineering. Are you publishing your thesis?

It’s the stinging when you pee that makes it so.

Try having a black beard in Stockholm. I love Ventimiglia, but that train station reminds me of the worse food poisoning ever when I ate a bad sandwich in Florence and had the worst train journey in history.

What is this affliction? An anaphylactic reaction to shallowness, posturing, and quasi-intellectual charlatans harping on like turkeys gobbling. Why does it drive us mad? Why can most people suffer it?

It won’t make them morally better, just a little less limited.

My experience is that STEM limits people to an inherited form of logical positivism that they aren’t even aware of, and when they try to interface with human systems they try to use the same thinking, and make a mess of everything. It’s why most software is shit.

Philosophy is being told you don’t know anything about philosophy because the person telling you has read a different book than you, but perservering anyway.

AI hype as the reversal of the Enlightment. Essay underway.

Hegel and Heidegger and Agile and OOP and now LLM’s and there’s suddenly so much bullshit in the world it feels like Sisyphus should have been given a research project instead of a rock.

Long discussions on residues are usually a sign that you’re trying to be correct and precise - volume is more important than precision at this step.

Black Tulip @technologytulip.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

Also, don’t spend time on discussions around residues, choose one and move on. If your stressor list is large enough you’ll come back to the decision with more nuance later.

Black Tulip @technologytulip.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

It’s normal and perfectly fine to have a stressor appear multiple times if there are multiple possible attractors based on different business reactions.

Smart people are using ChatGPT for this.

Black Tulip @technologytulip.bsky.social · 23/05/2025

This is especially true for those studying programming.

Black Tulip @technologytulip.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

Yes! Rather than the fool’s errand of trying to completely describe complex business systems we use random simulation - little stories called stressors - to push the software structure to the point of surviving unspecified conditions.

120

Black Tulip @technologytulip.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

I use randomly generated stress (fiction in context) to form software structures as opposed to trying to predict and control the actual future of context.

Black Tulip @technologytulip.bsky.social · 20/05/2025

Really interesting! This might be something I can reference in my research on software design/complexity science.

Going to screenshot this and have it as my first slide.

Takeaways are nonsense metric driven MBA horse shite where everything is always reduced to something even simpler. The main takeaway from all my talks is that thinking for yourself is inescapable and if you want simple soundbites you need to be in another talk, probably one about LLM’s.

Oh I’ll see you in Antwerp then I guess!

Black Tulip @technologytulip.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

Not at all. It’s a shame that the industry thinks like an Empire that requires us to use the language of rebellion.

Black Tulip @technologytulip.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

Seems to be arguing that sticking to normal science and staying placidly inside the current paradigm is the right strategy - which is what Kuhn would have expected him to say.

Black Tulip @technologytulip.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

Still in utter shock because a philosopher said something nice about my book.

You won’t be replaced by residuality theory, you’ll be replaced by someone using residuality theory. Hur dur.

One way to avoid this is for conferences to focus first on new ideas instead of reheated cliches. AI can’t possibly compete then. But the people want cliches….

Since we in tech love abstraction so much why not merge AI and tech marketing and tech sales so that all hallucinating can be done in one place.

It’s been a few months six Ethel release of ”The Architects Paradox”. I’ve just read a glowing review of the book on LinkedIn. This is first time I’ve stepped and thought about it, but that book was a lot. The reading list for it was INSANE. What was I thinking? I still haven’t really recovered.

Reality Check

I'm sick and god-damn tired of this! I have written tens of thousands of words about this and still, to this day, people are babbling about the "AI revolution" as the sky rains blood and crevices open...

100% agree. I’d add that drawing some lines and boxes and running away isn’t architecture, it’s Enterprise Architecture.

Black Tulip @technologytulip.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

I don’t write production code for the simple reason that it’s boring and trivial and after a decade or so I just kept seeing the same repeating things. It’s too easy. That’s when architecture starts to happen, you get bored with coding and want to solve the really big problems.
