bootstrapping

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system.

A black start is the process of restoring an electric power station or a part of an electric grid to operation without relying on the external electric power transmission network to recover from a total or partial shutdown
In the absence of grid power, a so-called black start needs to be performed to bootstrap the power grid into operation.

I’m struggling to define this concept exactly. A common thread with all of them is that there will be some kind of boot-strapping problem before maturity is reached. Also, most of these things can be classified more simply as “software development tools” — due to the fact that most software development tools are software, there is the possibility of this kind of “recursion”.

Complex systems are emergent. Successful systems don’t begin as complex systems. They emerge from a successful small system that is then built around and becomes increasingly complex as each part is tested along the way. This development of a comprehensive system is going to be more effective because it’s evolved to work in synchronisation and each part enhances others.

Tell Business what should be done fails since they don’t know what they don’t know (unknown unknown) and they don’t value it:

1. Make them think more like a Data Scientist
   
2. This leads to better ideas from Business people
   
3. Data Science starts to be more valuable
   
4. Go to 1.
