Ah yes, 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 an article that solves the age-old mystery of how Bell Labs, with all its resources and brilliant minds, managed to figure things out! 🤔 The author's groundbreaking advice? Hire a systems engineer and magically transform into an #innovation powerhouse. 🌟 Who knew it was that simple? 😂

FreakTakes · How did places like Bell Labs know how to ask the right questions?By Eric Gilliam

When you’re trying to solve a complex technical problem, look first for solutions that involve subtraction.

Today, a common default response is to solve problems by adding something. It’s a cultural phenomenon. For example, we solve software problems by adding more software.

Slow down. Back to basics. Ponder.

What is this immediate problem a part of, in the larger scheme of things?
What is our real objective?
Are we best served, today, by getting rid of entire ways of doing things that are no longer optimal?

Solutions that involve addition increase complexity.
Solutions that involve addition increase dependencies.
Solutions that involve addition increase the likelihood of system failures and breakdowns.

Contentious statement, maybe, but this comes up so often that it makes me wonder how the same problems persist over decades...

FreeBSD's pkg system is superior in every way to Debian's apt package system. How often does apt crap-out from dependency failures? every day it seems. FreeBSD pkg... never had those issues with binaries or ports in >20 years. :freebsd_logo:

makes me wonder, do people just never branch out to see alternate solutions and methods for implementation - instead just assuming that their reinvented wheel is always the best? that's some fanboy scheiß if so :tux:

and to the fanboys ahead of time, I've run many a private apt repo for large orgs, and build perhaps too many debs for sanity sake; I know how the systems work, it's just not a good implementation compared to others (even in linux world there's dnf and portage to show this is not a flame on linux specifically, just apt. apt sucks.

by the way, you can go to the sebokwiki.org and learn the systems engineering basics for free, complete with references. no one can stop you!

the latest INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook hardcopy can be obtained for US$90 (from Wiley) and the softcopy is free for INCOSE members, which you can just join if you want to. The Handbook is synchronized with the ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288:2023 International Standard - Systems and software engineering--System life cycle processes and you can even get certified by studying it and taking an affordable MOOC.

of course, there's the SWEBOK but it's not been updated since 2013 and I have not met a single software engineer that even mentioned it. :cereal_killer:

The Boeing 737 MAX incidents are a stark reminder: even industry giants with a legacy of excellence can stumble. What went wrong? Was it a failure of engineering principles or something more profound?

In my latest blog post on Resilience Engineering, I explore concepts like FMEA, Chaos Engineering, and how organizations can build systems resilient to failure.
