Not as such, unfortunately! And that would I think be potentially very valuable. On the other hand, EM has been highly influential in UX work. The starting point was Suchman’s work:https://meaningness.com/further-reading#Suchman …

This isn’t quite software engineering, but it’s in the ballpark:https://zenodo.org/record/31673

Ah, thank you! Looks good. 1998. It’s a tragedy that EM imploded in the 90s… I’m glad it’s being revived, even if mostly only in a narrow domain (clinical interactions).

More generally, I’m collecting references on meta-rationality in software development. Happy to share with either/both of you, with caveat that it’s rough and random now. Would appreciate any other references either of you can recommend!

I have 0 knowledge of this; it was more at work being mindful of situations that occur and wanting to read a view from the outside of SWE, especially around conflict resolution when there are diverse opinions about what's the right way to do X

e.g. the mode of arguing in SWE is generally based in case studies, authoritative books, past experience in similar projects, etc. It's not like we way "types are better because there was an RCT that proved it";

Yes, this is really interesting! Meta-rationality is largely a matter of "reflection-in-action" (Donald Schön's term), meaning open-ended thinking about the meaning of what you are doing as you are doing it. I think SWE people do this more than pretty much any other field...

... which might be why the stuff I say about meta-rationality seems to appeal particularly to SWE folks, but also that the more senior people in the field may already have grokked everything I have to say!

SW is full of ideas that are vaguely metarational, eg agile methodologies (as originally conceived). Especially in that they have explicit theories of goal-modification. But there's lots of room for more and better reflection.

My feeling also!
