Systems Thinking: How Great Questions Build Great Software

What to expect
Great systems start with great questions, not great code. The clearest requirement can still hide the assumption that breaks everything later.
Des and Suné explore what Systems Thinking is, why every feature and requirement is part of a bigger system, and how better questions help you cut assumptions and build software that lasts.
