The dominant theoretical model in software development over the last few decades has been systems theory. But this is the factory metaphor again. I increasingly think in terms of learning systems and information theory. I don't optimise for "flow". I optimise for learning. They're related, but not necessarily the same thing. It's quite possible - common, even - to optimise one at the expense of the other.

    The fun part is that when you look at software engineering and AI-assisted software engineering through that lens, they're *exactly* the same. Same game, different dice.
