“CAP theorem for humans” is an interesting characterization of the idea… is there a third item in the tradeoff then 🤔

Erik Hollnagel wrote a book that is foundational to the #devops movement. It’s called “The Efficiency To Thoroughness Trade-Off Principle” and it’s a bit like the CAP Theorem but for people. amazon.com/dp/B009KOA6LA/

I’m thorough in thinking about things I’m interested in, but efficient about everything else. Thorough in the sense that I don’t let go till I’m personally satisfied I’m roughly right. I rarely cite/footnote to the satisfaction of academically “rigorous” or rationalist types
