Have you ever read anything that has exposed you to a way of thinking that's just so incredibly different from everything software development/startup related? A kind of new mental model that doesn't even fit the abstraction-based, incredibly analytical mental models that devs usually try to use to explain the world (i.e. “mentals models are a mental model”)? It seems to me like we (and I’m probably projecting here) try to quickly put ideas into a rough abstraction so we can classify them and be done with it. But how about a style of thinking that has no concept of abstraction, or models? Or what’s an abstraction of software dev style thinking? If there is some higher level of abstraction to dev thinking, then what’s another ‘concrete’ style on the same level as that? Just some thoughts…I’d love to hear suggestions on books that were starkly different than how you currently think about the world.
