Summary
We discuss thinking beyond human error as Bill starts to summarize the book Behind Human Error. It’s always helpful to look at how the system and process caused the wrong move. Also, thinking about hardware, and some nice feedback from designers.

Hardware, what is it?
- Coté is confused about how to think about hardware.
- The IBM “brain chip”
Follow-up on “design”
- Some follow-up from a designer: of course they iterate, dummy!
- The air hockey meat-mallet (actually called the “OXO Good Grips Meat Pounder”)
- Where Good Ideas Come From and avoiding the Ferrari to Pinto transformation.
- Design documentary movies: Objectified, Helvetica, and the upcoming Urbanized.
Human Error
- Bill goes over Behind Human Error, causing us to discuss how various pipelines (systems) in product management work in waterfall and non-waterfall mode.
- How do product managers fit in to a design-heavy pipeline?

Summary
Bill and Coté discuss trying to explain DevOps, DevOps metrics, and the processes used by designers vs. software developers vs. management consultants vs. wedding planners. We also go over the recently US Digital Services Playbook, which looks pretty cool actually.

DevOps, what is it?
- Observations from the field - Bill has been on a tour visiting Kickstarter, Etsy, and IBM teams - what are they doing, how is it different, etc.?
- The US Digital Services Playbook. What is this?
- What is DevOps? Bill says “I use the term as a tool.”
- “What is DevOps,” from June 2012
- “Revisting ‘What is DevOps,’” from June 2014
- A recent presentation on DevOps metrics.
- Also, see Jay Lyman’s take and Jay and I’s guesting on a recent DevOps Café podcast episode.
IBM Design, Process
- Bill now works in the IBM Design Group now.
- What are “Design” people like? Ideation, post-it notes, user-centric thinking.
- Three schools of process: software development, design, management consulting.
Recommendations
- Behind Human Error, second edition - how companies learn from errors, why they happen, and how to move on.
- The Field Guide to Understanding Human Error
- Moral Mazes - Coté’s favorite field guide for working at a BigCo.
I was on The New Stack Analyst podcast today along with Nancy Gohring, one of the tech reports who’s work I’ve always enjoyed, and, of course, Alex Williams.
We discuss Nancy’s recent piece on Azure cloud seeming to grow faster than Amazon’s cloud, the problem with figuring comparisons like this out, some different scenarios for big cloud vendor success and failure based on where the packaged software market goes, and then DaaS and WaaS. The last is a topic I know less about than I’d like, but that never stops a analyst from talking about a topic…at length.
Pretty wide-ranging topics, but all trying to sort through what “IT” is becoming with all this cloud nonsense running around.
My connection was slow so I shut down my video. Enjoy milkman meets pie man.
