* Obsessing over tiny little details is the mark of a great designer. However, that doesn't mean that you should always be doing this. Say that you're launching a startup on a limited budget, for example. If you're spending an inordinate amount of time trying to decide between two slightly different shades of purple, or figuring out whether some border should be 1 or 2 pixels thick, odds are you're misusing your resources. There's a certain time and place to obsess over certain types of details - many startups would be better served obsessing over finding paying customers and refining their business model rather than spending lots of effort on some of this stuff. * For the record, while this person obviously seems talented, I really dislike how the site jarringly starts shifting the content you're reading over to the side a second after load. If he wants to write about tiny little design details, I'd argue that's one of the most annoying things that he's missed.
