the process of surrendering to the machine god..
(Not the machina diabol, as it sadly turned out to be, though some BDSM zealots might disagree.. the things that bureaucracy does to us are mild in comparison? )But.. we do monitor whether our prayers are effective .. right? Is that a smitable offense?
After that disappointment, I too was "curious": was the author going to talk about "curiosity", that magic virtue that we hackers believe, lifts design into the divine (but more often than not kills the pussy)
The best known example is the Japanese method of "Pointing and Calling/Naming" in their Train safety protocols but has been adapted to other industries too - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointing_and_calling
These fall under "Behaviour Based Safety" (BBS) training methodologies and use techniques like "Check-backs", "Call-outs", "STAR" etc.
