Any software engineering leader ignoring Shirky Principle risks wrecking their org.
"Institutions will try to preserve the problem to which they are the solution."
This principle explains why organizations often resist changes that would eliminate the very problems they were created to solve.

@raiderrobert@mastodon.social if ignoring the Shirky Principle means wrecking an org, it should be wrecked 🤷 personally if I made a tech to help with a social problem, and my tech became irrelevant because the problem was solved socially, I'd be very happy about that because I actually wanted to help...
