Eternal feedback loops

Oh, and you can get things to a state of readiness, but you (almost never) can finish things up, for websites ain’t products, but processes trapped in an eternal feedback loop.

I know it’s in bad taste to quote oneself, but this sentence came fully-formed from my head while I was updating the Facebook status for Peer Couture, and, english grammar mistakes and misspellings notwithstanding, I believe it to be a true, if not very original, reflection. Websites are much better understood when you frame them in terms of processes, flows and streams, compared with a static, frozen, ‘objectified’ if you will, frame of reference.

More later, maybe, for now I’ve got an invite system to code!

The computer isn’t a magic box. Just because the computer does something – something emergent – doesn’t mean that the conditions of emergence will be in any way productive of anything useful.
