Field notes

On design, language, and the products we make from both.

On writing in public

There is a specific discomfort in publishing a thought before it is fully formed. This is why it is worth doing.

The case for boring interfaces

An interface that calls attention to itself is an interface that failed. The best tools disappear into the work.

Notes on slowness

Speed is a constraint, not a value. Some useful things are deliberately, stubbornly slow.
