Me personally, I'm more of a Larry Tesler (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Tesler https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Tesler) kind of guy:
> [Tesler's] career forms a link from the pioneering work of Doug Engelbart, Stu Card and Tim Mott, to the emergence of a dominant design for the PC, as described by Bill Atkinson, Cordell Ratzlaff and Paul Bradley.
When he was at Apple, Larry Tesler had a license plate saying “NO MODES.”

- abraae 8y agoAlso a rule from the CEO in the book "Soul Of A New Machine", who commanded his engineers "No mode switch".
- majewsky 8y ago> NO MODES That's a lie though. All GUIs have modes all over the place. For example: - When I click into a text field, I go into Insert mode. - When I tab away from the text field, I'm in some sort of Select mode. These are clearly different modes because keys will do different things depending on the situation (e.g. [Space] in Select mode will click the focused button, but in Insert mode will insert text into the focused text field).
