Witnessing another occurrrence of the anti-pattern this morning inspired me to write some thoughts about this social behavior that is so common on our that is based on mechanics.

On the forum I created a category for (or ) patterns, and the "Reply Guy" is the first entry in what might be turned into a pattern library collection.

Just got an incredible idea to structure my project on a day to day basis, in a way that combines multiple disciplines without being overwhelming, and practical at the same time, and iterative

Each axis represents a domain or area of research or skills or theme & each coloured rectangle represents an intersection of the above.

Also each level of coloured rectangle represents one iteration of the intersection — the first visualisation/essay/ prototype of a 100 days of _____ type of project

Each axis represents a domain or area of research or skills or theme. And each coloured rectangle represents an intersection of the above but also, Each level of coloured rectangle one iteration of the intersection, an instantiation of application of it, a mini project or the first visualisation/essay/ prototype of a 100 days of project

“Nothing new under the Sun” was more of a facetious and dramatic statement, than factual.

I agree that framing/perspective has a major role to play in uncovering the previously unseen, unnoticed, etc. once “seen” it simple, beautiful and amazing in its hidden obviousness.

You have to embrace the irony of all the doom and gloom articles about AI replacing us, while working in an industry where most clients / stakeholders / PMs have no real product vision and no idea how to express what they want/ need. I think we are safe in the long run.

@stephaniewalter

“It might replace ‘pixel pushing’ jobs, …” - based on current tech it’s not going to do that, as it doesn’t model interactions (context+function+form+situational information), it’s mainly used to model sequencing plausible, not always accurate or relevant, written or image form instances i.e. lots of words or images strung together.

It’s being misused for decision making and consequence “chickens” are eventually coming home to roost.

I swear, so much complexity of my life right now comes from me wanting to be able to graphically draw out an interconnected hypergraph but also have a convenient textual representation of said hypergraph

I'm sure this makes zero sense to people. But ugh. It's so frustrating to have the ideas in your brain and just not be able to really tease them out in a useful way for others

Personal philosophy for learning & expression:

  1. Good-fidelity over perfect-fidelity, sketch-fidelity over good-fidelity- keep practicing to improve a skill. Also, momentum easier to maintain.
  2. Keep learning & apply what you’ve understood to item 1.
  3. Item 1 gives me an outlet for impatience & frustration whilst I’m rewiring brain in item 2.

Took me years of practice to develop visual mental model/lens. Code lens is higher fidelity as I developed that much earlier.

@impactology @stephenpa

Using visual judiciously would add to the impact of your book project and learning the knowledge (know what) and practicing (know how) are important. However, don’t stop your book project as it might not get completed. Accept whatever you release into the world will not be perfect and your best effort at the time.

Knowledge has min. 3 main aspects - know how, know what & know why
Most “education (indoctrination)” material is

  1. Know how to do … - overindexed to point of zealous, cult-like imitation behavior.
  2. Know what … is - again instead of multiple perspectives only western, eurocentric version is “legit”.

If asked why, the usual id-led rather than curiosity-led response is “How dare you question my authority/status/ego/…! Get out of my office, classroom, house”, etc.”

An old mastodon thread on tips to come up with a lesson plan for yourself/research inquiry that I came up with while chatting with @dahukanna

(This is more oriented towards people who prefer a self-directed learning interdisciplinary learning approach and whose end goal is to materialize the research to build things)

https://mastodon.social/@dahukanna/111670004660887417

A newer addition to it on ways you might figure out a criteria for book, paper selection out of the hundreds and thousands of lit you've gathered.

Comparing and Contrasting with a list of questions from the domains you are interested in Next create a list of questions researchers in the fields you are interested are asking and compare and contrast the similarities and differences in both the lists, using that you can then find intersections between the questions you are interested in and the people whose literature you have curated and as you find overlaps between the questions, you can use that as an example to further narrow down more literature. Basically the goal is not to do a narrow lit review of any one specific field but rather for the purpose of design and your project’s pragmatist, utilitarian goal, to use the relevant literature for inspiration. Also the answers from that earlier exercise of self-reflection via can be used to extract a list of keywords that can serve as prompts for imagining attributes of the ideal outcome or the form in which you imagine your artefact to be. Basically to help build a vision, those attributes and the resulting vision can also help you form a list of themes that are important for your project which can serve as criteria for the selection of the literature

@impactology @cornazano @RuthMalan taking a look.

I’m working up the pique to tackle visual “expression” and producing “representative abstract models” of ideas and concepts using web-tech. An area I know and can start from with some capability before branching out.

dahukanna, (edited )
@dahukanna@mastodon.social avatar

@impactology @cornazano @RuthMalan

I’m starting with a question (why), then pathway or activities(how) and final outcome(what).

Why == Σ Whats. Each What == Σ Hows.

That way the motivation and outcome are specific and allow for a variety of how-to address.

For me, her writing, speaking (presentations/podcast) have been insightful obviousness.

Complexity is relative to constraints/limitations. By understanding the limitations (constraints) in a situation, helps to identify unknowns including blind-spots and treating them accordingly.

Like your Description of “human-centered engineering(HCE)”. Anything “human-centered” must have a contextual, multidimensional communication system that carries & shares information about intention-, affect(emotion)-, effect(impact)-, problem framing-, solution choice-, reference blueprints-decision making+trade-offs+opportunity costs.

A factory=all these rigidly pre-decided for 1 specific combination to produce a specific output.
Engineering=creative, decision making endeavour.

Data Science Peeps any idea how could I process all this data?

Any practical curatorial strategies for document classification, clustering, topic modelling for inventorying a digital library?

https://mastodon.social/@impactology/112002494725872346

Context for doing this : To create a digital glossary (my first milestone for my book)

A website with a list of definitions thematized according to overlaps between design and educational research

Similar to https://www.practisingethics.org/ at the but for intersection of all these fields

Open access lexicon for built environment researchers & practitioners on ethical principles, guidelines on how to negotiate ethical issues in practice, reading lists of ethics publications, overviews of ethics protocols & case studies practisingethics.org
- An interactive website with a list of definitions thematized according to overlaps between design and educational psychology - A catalogue of patterns for the above themes describing their application to software design in the form of a newsletter and eventually a standalone website - A practical design framework with diagrams and processes to apply the theories, concepts and patterns from above themes.
I am currently in the process of writing a book that focuses on designing innovative interactive visual abstractions in Ul design. The aim of this book is to explore new approaches to online learning, teaching, explaining, discovering, and inventing, intersecting with educational psychology, open education, and interface design. The book is centered around designing novel interactive visual abstractions (novel Ul concepts) for new ways of learning, teaching, explaining, discovering, and inventing things online. The book consists of ten themes, each represented by a pair of questions related to Ul design, educational technology, open education, teaching, research, learning, and invention. Each theme is further divided into two sections: analysis and exploration. The analysis section deconstructs existing concepts, while the exploration section delves into potential innovations, resulting in 3000-6000-word essays. In total, the book contains 20 chapters, with each chapter including both analysis and invention sections. The invention sections showcase design prototypes related to teaching, learning, and research.

Will see if I have refs.

  • Is the content unstructured or unclassified?
  • Which parameters determine classification labeling, as the same text could be have more than one label.

Concern with using ML algorithm is - it will assign label with varying degree of accuracy & relevance. The only way you can be sure label is applied appropriately, is to recheck the results yourself. So time saving on “tedious work” becomes time wasting “trial and error” iterations.

Lit reviewing "developer experience" as a construct and earliest thing I found in initial search is from Fagerholm and Münch(2012):

F. Fagerholm and J. Münch, "Developer experience: Concept and definition," 2012 International Conference on Software and System Process (ICSSP), Zurich, Switzerland, 2012, pp. 73-77, doi: 10.1109/ICSSP.2012.6225984.

It doesn't reference any existing literature on developer experience. Google ngram also shows a HUGE spike in "developer experience" mentions in 2013.

From 1990’s people like @mralancooper & Grady Booch - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grady_Booch have been designing & building tools, writing books to address the human developer eXperience (DX). AFAIA the term did not become popular until Software as a Service (SaaS) with a focus on User eXperience became a business interest. Then certain businesses realized their SaaS products & APIs needed developer adoption for success and DX became a base SaaS business consideration - https://thenewkingmakers.com
