Nicholas, really thoughtful piece — I like how you broke systems thinking into internal and external lenses. It feels practical and future-proof, though I wonder if framing it more as a hands-on tutorial could make it land even stronger on this platform.
Great topic and article but I think maybe showcase isn't the right place for such articles? maybe you could try adjusting and shaping it as a tutorial?
