This would be a lot more convincing if it explained exactly what is wrong with the designs he dismisses and even more so if it offered a few examples of the kind of design he'd like to see instead.
- at-fates-hands 12y agoI was waiting for when he was going to put in some clear examples about what he was talking about. It's easy to say, "This sucks, we need to do better!" when you don't really lay out specific examples.
- gopher1 12y agoWorse still, he starts with "design needs to stop with the feel-good bullshit", but ends with a bunch of save-the-world feel-good bullshit. The fact that Silicon Valley has not solved the world's problems goes far far deeper than design, we're talking about fundamental problems of shareholder driven, Tayloristic style capitalism.

Citing specific details would be begging for an immediate derailment directly into the sort details that are directly opposed to the larger point: >'We don’t need more superficial solutions to superficial problems. We need real answers to real problems — big ones and small ones.
