Cognitive Decay Are You Losing Your Edge?
AI Summary
- Transitioning from hands-on work to supervision leads to decreased expertise over time.
- Software systems operate as intricate feedback loops, which can either amplify or dampen effects.
- The most impactful feedback occurs upstream, where processes like code reviews and deployments provide critical insights.
- Streamlining feedback loops reduces cognitive overhead, enabling faster development.
- Effective sociotechnical systems are characterized by strong observability and robust tools, allowing developers to focus on building with ease.
