Worse is Better Design Rules

The Worse is Better design rules:

• Prefer Simplicity over everything else.
• Sacrifice Correctness for Simplicity.
• Sacrifice Completeness for Consistency.
• Sacrifice Completeness for Simplicity.
• Sacrifice Consistency for Completeness if Simplicity can be retained.

Invisible Design

Ironically, invisible design in UX requires adding constraints while in programming it requires removing them to find abstractions.

Start. Finish. Repeat.

If you haven't started, start. If you've started, finish. Repeat.

Finding the optimal path between start and finish is not important; finishing is. Take the shortest path.

A Nuanced World

We live in a nuanced world. A world with multiple layers of detail and meaning. With connections that are sometimes impossible to uncover given our limited perception. So we choose to simplify, generalize and polarize, and lose out on the richness that is this life.

Google+'s killer feature

Hangouts is a killer feature! The possibility of "hanging out" with people you haven't met in person and making real connections is a game changer.
