System Building

I've been obsessed with systems thinking for years. Not the academic stuff—the practical kind where you start seeing patterns in everything.

Systems thinking is simple: look at connections instead of parts. Most problems aren't isolated. They're tangled with other problems. You can't fix one without understanding the whole mess.

This isn't new. Early 20th century—biologists and social scientists started comparing notes across disciplines. Turns out cells and societies work the same way: lots of parts talking to each other, creating something bigger.

If you code, you already think this way. You trace function calls, follow data flow, hunt bottlenecks. That's systems thinking. You just don't call it that.

The useful bit: once you see it in code, you see it everywhere. Your habits. Your relationships. Traffic patterns. Same mechanics underneath.

The world is made of systems. Natural playground for the curious.
