Engineering management as an exercise in finding the right computational metaphor to apply to organizational concerns. /cc @colinmarc
@nikete one of my favorites is from http://www.amazon.com/Slack-Getting-Burnout-Busywork-Efficiency-ebook/dp/B004SOVC2Y …. You wouldn't run a network or CPU at 100% capacity; why run an org that way?

@avibryant nice, any others? -
@nikete modeling people as processes, and work as shared state can be a rich vein for discussion (explains why more people can be slower) -
@nikete whether your model is of read and write locks, or message passing actors, etc, it's useful to bring eng intuitions to bear. -
@avibryant Slack would be an amazing place to do some quantitative work on this
