Systems Thinking
The ability to see how individual components connect to form a larger whole.
Definition
The ability to see how individual components connect to form a larger whole. In software, this means understanding how the frontend, backend, database, APIs, and infrastructure work together as an integrated system.
Example
When a website is slow, a systems thinker doesn't just blame the server. They consider: is the database query inefficient? Is the API response too large? Is the frontend rendering too much data at once?
