How To Safely Think In Systems
- Will Larson
#Leadership
tl;dr: Will believes the most valuable leadership skill is "how to think correctly," inspired by the book Thinking In Systems. Despite many considering themselves as system thinkers, they "model casually." Will provides 3 rules for thinking in systems safely: (1) When your model and reality conflict, reality is always right. (2) Models are immutable, but reality isn’t, it's always changing. (3) Every model omits information; some omit critical information.

#CareerAdvice
tl;dr: Completing a project with some time left, you can do "more, extra or nothing," and "reasonably happy developers distinguish themselves by choosing extra" - providing a small, additional, tangential contribution to the project. If you're building a web form, research input security concerns. This provides a sense of "free will" and adds to your knowledge base.

#Management
tl;dr: "Twitter has a kernel team!?" Everyone is surprised to learn this but, as Dan explains: "a company Twitter's size is going to regularly run into kernel issues... without a kernel team or the equivalent, the company will muddle through the issues, running into unnecessary problems as well as taking an unnecessarily long time to mitigate incidents."
