Integration is Feminist: Building Peace in Distributed Systems.
summary
Claims that integration teams hold the organization’s most actionable knowledge: managed a 50-person integration team, fixed recurring P1 incidents during monthly accounting cutoffs, and relied on a 20-minute batch job whose runtime forced cross-team collaboration. Argues for practical practices — governance, canonical models, documentation, and deploying a data observability solution — and for cultural shifts toward care ethic, radical acceptance of legacy mess, and inside-out power to broker standards and protect vulnerable processes.
