Coordination Spaghetti
Communication ComplexityA risk when many people need to talk to too many other people for many decisions.
// LYRICS
[Intro] Message sent. Thread reopened. Loop expanded. Flow broken. [Verse 1] One decision needs a twelve-way sync Three pre-reads nobody had time to think Five channels, six tabs, seven flags Eight opinions in procedural drag Every handoff grows a little tail Every update needs another trail The work is small, the network wide Coordination ate the ride [Pre-Chorus] Designed in Then blamed on people Built a maze And called it equal [Chorus] Coordination spaghetti Twist it, plate it, call it ready Coordination spaghetti Every noodle says it's necessary Too much talk Too little flow Everybody syncs But the work moves slow [Verse 2] No one's lazy, no one's free The system wants a ceremony If everyone must know before we move Then motion has too much to prove Cut the knot or watch it breed Communication is not the deed [Bridge] Communication complexity Designed into the floor Every answer needs a meeting Every meeting opens more Who decides? Who needs to know? Who advises? Who can let go? [Breakdown] Loop me in. Circle back. Add one more. Track the track. Loop me in. Circle back. Add one more. Track the track. [Final Chorus] Coordination spaghetti Twist it, plate it, call it ready Coordination spaghetti Every noodle says it's necessary Too much talk Too little flow Everybody syncs But the work moves slow
