Remember when this idea bred those fake minimalist preachers? Mistaking constraint-based design for asceticism? Too much constraints, you end up in a corner.

Remember when this idea bred those fake minimalist preachers? Mistaking constraint-based design for asceticism? Too much constraints, you end up in a corner. It reminds me of Windows Metro. That was good constraint-based design. Lots of clever thinking in the good direction. Windows 8 was great (hey, Apple copied some of it, the highest form of praise). Eames was smart. Translating those things to tech is often a challenge. Keeping the thing human is difficult.
