Github has so much raw talent on staff that such things are totally reasonable indulgences. Why would Kyle be happy working on it if it was going to be ugly.

Github has so much raw talent on staff that such things are totally reasonable indulgences. Why would Kyle be happy working on it if it was going to be ugly. It's that drive for excellence that motivates the kind of people Github hires.
I think it would be a major management mistake to force (or even urge) someone like Kyle to do things half ass.
- scotth 14y agoIt's not half-ass if you're achieving excellence by some other metric. I personally take pride in my ability to recognize tradeoffs. I encourage my peers to see things in the same light.
- grandalf 14y agoI'm that way too, nor am I a designer. My point was just that if you have one of the best UX designers working on something then the point is probably to have him/her optimize for functionality and design... otherwise it would have been fine to have someone work on it who was only skilled at the engineering aspect of the project.
