Nice analogy. I see "prices" as money and time. To save time, pay more money, to save money, pay in time. Ikea is maybe low on money, but definitely high in terms of time. Any software with good UX should be high on money, because they are low cost in time.
There is also a feel good factor, which the time component is 0. e.g. I have a bad habit of buying books not to be read, but to put on bookshelf because it looks good. Sorry Knuth, I am at maybe page 10 of the your 4 volumes of TAOCP. It looks good on my shelf.
- mantas 3y agoAfter dealing with custom builders... Ikea is not high in terms of time either. You're likely to drive to Ikea in the morning and have a shelf/cabinet/couch/whatever ready same evening. Now dealing with custom builders is a wee more involved... Less sweating, but time-wise, it's not that different. And then there's delivery terms if you're on a rush to have something usable in your empty housing.
