You can't learn directly from something that is "hard to change."

2022-11-25

I saw a tweet that put things that are easy to change and things that are difficult to change side by side and said, "Learn the things that are difficult to change."

How can we learn 'what is hard to change'?"

"It might be a good idea to start by learning about 'things that are changeable.'"

it came to a point where ...

from /mitoujr/polishing things that are "hard to change".

/mitoujr/nishio.iconI also wrote to The Intellectual Production of Engineers because I share the same opinion!

[Knowledge that is difficult to change" means "abstraction" that is, "case-sensitivity information removed from individual specific cases".

To get it, you first need to gather [specific information

Must be stacked in order from the foundation. 　 Stack boxes on top.

Trying to obtain only Versatile abstract knowledge without collecting individual specific information will not work as expected.

Taking the top of the pyramid is not what I expected.

PDCA and error back propagation

By doing what is planned and executed, it is materialized and output, and the results can be observed. By comparing the results with expectations, the "gap between expectations and reality" (error) is revealed. This error is propagated back by Adjust. Knowledge at a high level of abstraction requires less adjustment.
