Anti Patterns, Logical Fallacies, Cognitive Bias
July 10th 2008 20:57
I just read the software development book, AntiPattens.
It is a very good book about why things go wrong and how to fix it, specifically in software development.
My usual theme is from Lao Tzu is to learn this from that. Also mirrored in Miyamoto Musashi's idea of transferability of ideas, being a carpenter and a swordsmen is the same thing for instance.
Know one thing, know 10,000 things. So from the software engineering book you can learn business/marketing ideas. You can learn the "why" of the situation.
There is another issue present here, Déformation Professionnelle. So if you are in software and need some specific answers on what is happening on your projects, the book is great. But there is more!
The idea of "anti-patterns" is great. It has been explored elsewhere though in a more exhaustive fashion. Two things: Cognitive Bias, and Logical Fallacies.
Déformation Professionnelle is itself a Cognitive Bias. There are many more! I would suggest your explore them and gain some understanding.
Logical Fallacies are essentially errors in deductive reasoning.
Both of these ideas will set into motion anti-patterns.
Remember WWSD! What Would Spock Do?
