"shaping the future of tech"
So much hyperbole. It seems Wallpaper got a bit excited over this exclusive interview they landed :)
- Waterluvian 5y agoYeah. Just the biggest Tina Fey eye roll to the smugness poison found in tech.
- crate_barre 5y agoYes, eyeroll, I was thinking douchey-meter overload, but the eye roll is certainly more diplomatic.
- dntrkv 5y agoIs it though? You don't think the designers behind the most popular hardware devices in the world are shaping the future of tech?
- pier25 5y agoNo, I don't think designers themselves have a big influence on tech. And when I say tech I mean the whole industry and the underlying technologies, not the consumer products that follow after that. Even just considering the final consumer products, I'd say engineers and decision makers have a much bigger influence than designers. Edit: To elaborate on this, what do you think had a bigger influence on the new MBPs? The team behind the M1 or the designers?
- motoxpro 5y agoThis definitely feels like shaping tech to me. The amount of thought and scale that is happening here is absolutely mindblowing. I don't think all of tech has to be space, bio, etc, frontiers. More people interact with what these people do than almost any other tech product in the world.
