  • Episode 8 - Why Human Factors and Not Technical Ones
    The spicy Allspaw take that inspired our listener is here: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jallspaw_a-im-a-bit-salty-today-b-if-you-dont-activity-7287968197742411776-5_Ay Charles Perrow is the guy who wrote Normal Accidents (https://bookshop.org/p/books/normal-accidents-living-with-high-risk-technologies-updated-edition-revised-charles-perrow/10369279?ean=9780691004129&next=t&next=t) , which Colette is somewhat controversially a fan of, and thus a Perrow-ian? (a lot of resilience engineering people are not fans!) Not many notes today, here go check out a page on one of Colette’s favorite chicken breeds: https://greenfirefarms.com/shetland_hen.html

Banks is an author of The Culture series, a set of fiction books based in a post-scarcity societyIf you didn’t get the Vizzini/Inigo Montoya references, you should probably find a way to see The Princess Bride.Colette mentioned STAMP - which is more along the lines of reliability engineering than resilience engineering, technically, but is related.
