Products exist to help people, not just to check requirements boxes or generate change orders. Consider people first.
We can't solve big problems all at once. We chip away at them, learning and adjusting along the way.
We connect what we do with why we do it and help others do the same. People do better when they understand how their work fits into the bigger picture.
Make something, test it, make it better, and repeat. It's easy to get stuck in analysis paralysis. Just make something...even if it's not perfect.Â
We don't exist in a vacuum. We need to consider technology and business concerns alongside user experience. Products that can't succeed on all fronts disappear.
Let's make truly great products. They shouldn't just work - they should be a joy to use! That takes persistence and passion. Don't stop at "good enough."
