From here to there and back again
summary
Claims that mapping (not graphs) reveals evolution, anchors on user needs, and predicts where to invest supported by concrete outcomes: a robotics project is cancelled after a 15-minute map exercise, HS2 virtual modelling hits schedule and under budget, and mapping use saved £425 million on UK projects. Origins tie to Wardley Mapping and patterns (genesis→commodity) explain cloud (EC2 2006), Ubuntu taking 70% of cloud installs, and rise of conversational programming environments demonstrated by an early Vibe coder prototype at AWS reinvent 2018.
