So I don't know what Organic Programming is supposed to be here. The tribe description is opaque to me. I think it is to others, hence the lack of posts.

However, I do have ideas about Organic Programming the term and whta it meant to me before entering this tribe.

I see two approaches:
Dimension X. Parallel to organic farming. Intervention is done by WORKING WITH the natural forces instead of opposing them. Artificial external devices, whether chemicals, or processes, are avoided. Using them MIGHT be more efficient, yes. But their use and presense are known to POISON the ecosystem. For example, heavy rigourous process nends to wear down the spirits of the creative developers and drives away all the best members of the team, ensuring that future crops will be functional, but pasty in texture and without much flavor.
Dimension Y. Parallel to organic systems. A tangled mat of undergrowth that gradually forms to make a forest.

I am going to adopt these two simultaneously as working definitions and see where it goes.

Dimension Y will be addressed in the BBoM thread.
Dimension X I address here:

Yes, that is a good article. It espoused elements of Organic Design dimension X. The author said:

> I prefer the Andy Warhol approach: Take that simple idea of what it is you want to do, then just assemble a good team, give them space and autonomy and real responsibility, and then trust them.

In other words, he advocates allowing the plants and livestock to grow in the way that suits them rather than expose them to toxins and artifical growth stimulants.

> The greatest artworks by Andy Warhol were not on canvas, they were on boardroom charts. Andy invented what he called Business Art, creating startups as his media, people as his pigments, factory spaces as his canvases. Andy's great contribution to us all was in demonstrating how it is largely human chemistry that makes magic happen. Put together the right team and anything they do will be golden.

It is the individual plants and animals that know how to grow. We can provide fertile ground for them, but coercing them to an antifical environment instead of their natural environment produces a substandard product.
