- edw519 17y ago1. Why would Edward Tufte be rolling in his grave? Back up your hypotheses with a little data please. 2. Stepwise refinement is an acceptable development process, even here on hn. What you perceive as "lack of taste", I see as one of the steps. 3. OP is obviously experimenting, seeking feedback, and deploying it. Your feedback adds little. After spending so much time with boring corporate drones, I love posts like this where someone actually has the balls to push the envelope. Cut him a break. 4. If you only learn one thing about anything, I suggest you go back a try to learn something else. Enquiring hackers want to know.
