(/) \u00ab Oatmeal   The Seed Beneath the Snow Jimmy Miller wrote a (https://jimmyhmiller.com/legibility-is-ruining-you) lovely response to Sean Goedecke\u2019s \u201c (https://www.seangoedecke.com/seeing-like-a-software-company/) Seeing like a Software Company ,\u201d which you know is itself riffing on (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seeing_Like_a_State) James C. Scott\u2019s Seeing Like a State  . I loved Jimmy\u2019s response, and it felt to me like it walked right up to the edge of a different conclusion, but didn\u2019t make it all of the way there. I want to directly point at and name the thing I see in Jimmy\u2019s response: Jimmy is making an anarchist argument.  Not the Hollywood kind. Not the broken windows kind. Random looting in the streets kind. The real one. The one carried by Yiddish-speaking garment workers in the Lower East Side, by Kropotkin cataloguing mutual aid from exile, by Emma Goldman insisting that revolution that doesn\u2019t include joy isn\u2019t worth having, and by Ursula K. Le Guin building an entire planet (well, moon) around the idea in The Dispossessed . The anarchism that\u2019s about how people take care of each other when they\u2019re failed by the official systems. Here\u2019s a version of the argument as I see it if you haven\u2019t read the pieces: Scott argues that states impose \u201c legibility\u201d on complex systems, like neat rows of trees, standardized naming, legible taxation, and in doing so destroy the messy, illegible structures that made those systems work. Sean applies this framework to software companies. He lays out with a lot of coherent balance that legibility is a tradeoff: companies need it for enterprise deals and long-term planning, but they also depend on illegible work, like backchannels, favors, and tacit knowledge to actually function. Jimmy then takes Sean\u2019s balanced view and pushes it slightly askew by arguing that legible processes aren\u2019t just inefficient, they\u2019re coercive. They don\u2019t measure values; they replace them. The metric becomes the value. The thin rule kills the thick one. And then Jimmy ends with this: choose to truly care about something.  Push back. Be essential. I love this. I also think it\u2019s not taking the idea far enough. Individual refusal is powerful and necessary but the anarchist tradition that I think Jimmy is channeling\u2009\u2014\u2009whether he\u2019d call it that or not\u2009\u2014\u2009has more to say about what comes next after choosing to care. You can\u2019t do this alone. Individual resistance without mutual aid is burnout with a backstory. Sean describes these \u201c permanent zones of unsanctioned illegibility\u201d where the actual work happens like when someone on a team reaches out to someone else on another team and says \u201c hey, can you make this one-line change for me?\u201d No ticket. No planning process. One person helping another because they have a relationship and the work needs doing. Sean frames these as workarounds. Necessary but awkward and illegible. But what if they\u2019re not workarounds? What if they\u2019re the actual thing? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Ward) Colin Ward spent a lot of his career arguing for this. A thing he claims is that anarchist society already exists everywhere, like \u201c a seed beneath the snow.\u201d The informal, self-organizing networks that people build to take care of each other aren\u2019t a fallback for when institutions fail. They\u2019re the primary social reality that all institutions are layered on top of. Ward built on Kropotkin who argued for cooperation, and that cooperation isn\u2019t naive idealism. Instead, it\u2019s the mechanism on which complex communities survive. The old-growth forests that Scott writes about, the ones the German state replaced with legible monocultures? Those forests worked because of the messy web of mutual dependence between species. The underbrush was load-bearing. The diversity was structural. Remove it for legibility and the whole thing becomes fragile. Sean\u2019s backchannels are underbrush. A potentially less esoteric thing to ground this in is Ursula K. Le Guin\u2019s The Dispossessed . I think it is essential reading for anyone who recognized themselves in Jimmy\u2019s piece, because it (kinda spoilers for The Dispossessed, here) suggests the understanding that this fight never ends. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarres) Anarres , the anarchist moon, doesn\u2019t have laws. But it develops conventions, soft bureaucracies, social pressures that function like laws. The Division of Labor posting system isn\u2019t formally coercive because you can refuse any assignment, but the social cost of refusal is expensive. People who are \u201c willing to make lists\u201d accumulate power. The revolution calcifies into process. This is every software company that started with \u201c we don\u2019t have process, we just talk to each other\u201d and ended up with SAFe Agile, and a quarterly OKR ceremony. Le Guin teaches us that legibility isn\u2019t something imposed once by villains. It\u2019s like a totally entropic force. It accretes. And the response isn\u2019t to win once and declare victory. It\u2019s permanent revolution. Not in the dramatic sense, but in the sense of continually choosing the thick over the thin, the contextual over the mechanical, the human relationship over the ticket. And you can\u2019t do that alone. That\u2019s the whole point. Which is where the Yiddish anarchist tradition maybe has something to teach the software industry\u2026 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landsmanshaft) The landsmanshaftn were mutual aid societies organized by immigrants from the same town or region. They weren\u2019t anarchist institutions, exactly because spanned the full political spectrum, from socialist to religious to apolitical. But the pattern was anarchist in Ward\u2019s sense. Super importantly, they weren\u2019t ideological projects. They were practical responses to material need. People needed healthcare, burial funds, someone to vouch for them, a place to speak their language. So they built networks to provide those things, outside and beneath the official structures that weren\u2019t supporting them. The Workmen\u2019s Circle, the Yiddish press, the reading groups, none of it was waiting for the revolution. It was doing the revolution in the form of people taking care of each other. That\u2019s exactly what Sean\u2019s backchannels are. Someone needs a one-line change. They know who can do it. They ask. No ticket, no process, no ideology. Just a practical response to a material need, built on a relationship. The landsmanshaftn didn\u2019t organize because they had a theory of mutual aid. They organized because the landlord wasn\u2019t going to fix the heat. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Goldman) Emma Goldman understood this. Her insistence on joy, on dancing, on living as though the world you want already exists wasn\u2019t frivolity. It was the recognition that mutual aid isn\u2019t only strategy. It\u2019s where the good life happens. The revolution isn\u2019t the dramatic moment of refusal. It\u2019s daily practice. This whole analogy I\u2019ve constructed has limits. Software engineers choosing to resist OKRs are not in the same position as garment workers organizing against bosses who could have them killed. The stakes are different\u2026but also the stakes are there in a world where healthcare, housing, and food are predicated upon your employment status. The organizational pattern in the way mutual aid emerges wherever legibility fails the people it claims to serve, I think that\u2019s real, and it shows up at every scale. Jimmy asks us to choose to \u201c truly care about something.\u201d I\u2019d push it one step further: choose to truly care about each other. Rather than throw wrenches in OKRs, defend the backchannels. Protect the people who do the illegible work. Recognize that the mentorship, the favors, the \u201c hey can you help me with this\u201d conversations aren\u2019t obstacles to productivity, they\u2019re not breaks in flow-state. They\u2019re the thing itself. They\u2019re the seed beneath the snow. \u2026and they should also be the fun part. The part where work actually feels like it matters. If your revolution is all grim refusal and no joy, I feel for you, and I think you\u2019re doing it wrong, or being forced into it, or you\u2019ve been value-captured by a different set of metrics. \u2026I also feel like I should say the word \u201c union\u201d here at least once, you know, just because its an obvious step along the way, but I also think they\u2019re kinda the quarterly OKR planning equivalent to what I\u2019m saying.

                    "The Seed Beneath the Snow\n\n        \n\n        \nJimmy Miller wrote a lovely response to Sean Goedecke\u2019s \u201cSeeing like a Software Company,\u201d which you know is itself riffing on James C. Scott\u2019s Seeing Like a State. I loved Jimmy\u2019s response, and it felt to me like it walked right up to the edge of a different conclusion, but didn\u2019t make it all of the way there. I want to directly point at and name the thing I see in Jimmy\u2019s response:\nJimmy is making an anarchist argument.\nNot the Hollywood kind. Not the broken windows kind. Random looting in the streets kind. The real one. The one carried by Yiddish-speaking garment workers in the Lower East Side, by Kropotkin cataloguing mutual aid from exile, by Emma Goldman insisting that revolution that doesn\u2019t include joy isn\u2019t worth having, and by Ursula K. Le Guin building an entire planet (well, moon) around the idea in The Dispossessed. The anarchism that\u2019s about how people take care of each other when they\u2019re failed by the official systems.\nHere\u2019s a version of the argument as I see it if you haven\u2019t read the pieces: Scott argues that states impose \u201clegibility\u201d on complex systems, like neat rows of trees, standardized naming, legible taxation, and in doing so destroy the messy, illegible structures that made those systems work. Sean applies this framework to software companies. He lays out with a lot of coherent balance that legibility is a tradeoff: companies need it for enterprise deals and long-term planning, but they also depend on illegible work, like backchannels, favors, and tacit knowledge to actually function. Jimmy then takes Sean\u2019s balanced view and pushes it slightly askew by arguing that legible processes aren\u2019t just inefficient, they\u2019re coercive. They don\u2019t measure values; they replace them. The metric becomes the value. The thin rule kills the thick one.\nAnd then Jimmy ends with this:\n\nchoose to truly care about something.\n\nPush back. Be essential.\nI love this. I also think it\u2019s not taking the idea far enough.\nIndividual refusal is powerful and necessary but the anarchist tradition that I think Jimmy is channeling\u2009\u2014\u2009whether he\u2019d call it that or not\u2009\u2014\u2009has more to say about what comes next after choosing to care. You can\u2019t do this alone. Individual resistance without mutual aid is burnout with a backstory.\nSean describes these \u201cpermanent zones of unsanctioned illegibility\u201d where the actual work happens like when someone on a team reaches out to someone else on another team and says \u201chey, can you make this one-line change for me?\u201d No ticket. No planning process. One person helping another because they have a relationship and the work needs doing. Sean frames these as workarounds. Necessary but awkward and illegible.\nBut what if they\u2019re not workarounds? What if they\u2019re the actual thing?\nColin Ward spent a lot of his career arguing for this. A thing he claims is that anarchist society already exists everywhere, like \u201ca seed beneath the snow.\u201d The informal, self-organizing networks that people build to take care of each other aren\u2019t a fallback for when institutions fail. They\u2019re the primary social reality that all institutions are layered on top of.\nWard built on Kropotkin who argued for cooperation, and that cooperation isn\u2019t naive idealism. Instead, it\u2019s the mechanism on which complex communities survive. The old-growth forests that Scott writes about, the ones the German state replaced with legible monocultures? Those forests worked because of the messy web of mutual dependence between species. The underbrush was load-bearing. The diversity was structural. Remove it for legibility and the whole thing becomes fragile.\nSean\u2019s backchannels are underbrush.\nA potentially less esoteric thing to ground this in is Ursula K. Le Guin\u2019s The Dispossessed.\nI think it is essential reading for anyone who recognized themselves in Jimmy\u2019s piece, because it (kinda spoilers for The Dispossessed, here) suggests the understanding that this fight never ends. Anarres, the anarchist moon, doesn\u2019t have laws. But it develops conventions, soft bureaucracies, social pressures that function like laws. The Division of Labor posting system isn\u2019t formally coercive because you can refuse any assignment, but the social cost of refusal is expensive. People who are \u201cwilling to make lists\u201d accumulate power. The revolution calcifies into process.\nThis is every software company that started with \u201cwe don\u2019t have process, we just talk to each other\u201d and ended up with SAFe Agile, and a quarterly OKR ceremony. Le Guin teaches us that legibility isn\u2019t something imposed once by villains. It\u2019s like a totally entropic force. It accretes. And the response isn\u2019t to win once and declare victory. It\u2019s permanent revolution. Not in the dramatic sense, but in the sense of continually choosing the thick over the thin, the contextual over the mechanical, the human relationship over the ticket.\nAnd you can\u2019t do that alone. That\u2019s the whole point.\nWhich is where the Yiddish anarchist tradition maybe has something to teach the software industry\u2026\nThe landsmanshaftn were mutual aid societies organized by immigrants from the same town or region. They weren\u2019t anarchist institutions, exactly because spanned the full political spectrum, from socialist to religious to apolitical. But the pattern was anarchist in Ward\u2019s sense. Super importantly, they weren\u2019t ideological projects. They were practical responses to material need. People needed healthcare, burial funds, someone to vouch for them, a place to speak their language. So they built networks to provide those things, outside and beneath the official structures that weren\u2019t supporting them. The Workmen\u2019s Circle, the Yiddish press, the reading groups, none of it was waiting for the revolution. It was doing the revolution in the form of people taking care of each other.\nThat\u2019s exactly what Sean\u2019s backchannels are. Someone needs a one-line change. They know who can do it. They ask. No ticket, no process, no ideology. Just a practical response to a material need, built on a relationship. The landsmanshaftn didn\u2019t organize because they had a theory of mutual aid. They organized because the landlord wasn\u2019t going to fix the heat.\nEmma Goldman understood this. Her insistence on joy, on dancing, on living as though the world you want already exists wasn\u2019t frivolity. It was the recognition that mutual aid isn\u2019t only strategy. It\u2019s where the good life happens. The revolution isn\u2019t the dramatic moment of refusal. It\u2019s daily practice.\nThis whole analogy I\u2019ve constructed has limits. Software engineers choosing to resist OKRs are not in the same position as garment workers organizing against bosses who could have them killed. The stakes are different\u2026but also the stakes are there in a world where healthcare, housing, and food are predicated upon your employment status. The organizational pattern in the way mutual aid emerges wherever legibility fails the people it claims to serve, I think that\u2019s real, and it shows up at every scale.\nJimmy asks us to choose to \u201ctruly care about something.\u201d I\u2019d push it one step further: choose to truly care about each other. Rather than throw wrenches in OKRs, defend the backchannels. Protect the people who do the illegible work. Recognize that the mentorship, the favors, the \u201chey can you help me with this\u201d conversations aren\u2019t obstacles to productivity, they\u2019re not breaks in flow-state. They\u2019re the thing itself. They\u2019re the seed beneath the snow.\n\u2026and they should also be the fun part. The part where work actually feels like it matters. If your revolution is all grim refusal and no joy, I feel for you, and I think you\u2019re doing it wrong, or being forced into it, or you\u2019ve been value-captured by a different set of metrics.\n\u2026I also feel like I should say the word \u201cunion\u201d here at least once, you know, just because its an obvious step along the way, but I also think they\u2019re kinda the quarterly OKR planning equivalent to what I\u2019m saying.\n\n        Published \n          April 3, 2026\n          \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        Tags\n        \n        \tanarchism\n        \tresponse\n        \tjimmy miller\n        \tsean goedecke\n        \tursula k. le guin\n        \temma goldman"
