Sorry, but using such terms as "Populism, the backlash against globalization" is exactly what I call "deliberate misrepresentation of the facts and realities".

What a marvelously ignorant idea. Why is it so hard to understand that there will be no magic machine that will allow you to live happily ever after without need to think.

As I've said, there are legit reasons, but my point was that they are being abused too often and this will have consequences.

Technical, financial, organisational, etc. yes, but almost the whole point of creativity is being able to come up with something original, new. If you don't you don't get paid or in this case you don't get paid for long. That

I'd add one more thing - if you look at it closer, web designers never tried or managed to be properly original and diverse. There was always some sort of "magical guidelines" that made everything look in essence the same. Ev

Yes, this is an old completely classical idea. No one can psychologically bare the thought that they are doing something really wrong and get motivated by it. We are defined by what we think is right. That's why true sadism always requ

Maybe that's just me, but latest hiccups sometimes look suspiciously like an attempt to turn this trend around. Nice nickname btw. Is it from Captain Grant's Children?

Hard to say if it was intended or not. But observe how this shifts the discussion towards some sort of "outsiders". Nobody here is to blame and the life is beautiful again.

Insightful I'd say. There are quite a few individuals in startup space these days who are kind of innocently/ignorantly parasitic towards people who do actual work. And it's not a problem of parasites to say no.

...The use of that last phrase, “style over substance” has always been, as Oscar Wilde observed, a marvellous and instant indicator of a fool. For those who perceive a separation between the two have either not lived, thought, read or exper

The actual problem is that many designers just don't understand how things work in general. They just "do some pictures"... Then ofc they get this "learn to code" line. But I can say the same about programmers when it comes to design. This

But what you are saying is - let's just have "some design". Like nice background pattern or smth. Sorry but I so disagree with this. In case of mentioned sites it would be a major fail. And btw I'm a designer too...

Big mistake here... a huge one actually... HN and Stack Overflow have the _right_ kind of design because in one way or another it appeals to readers. Author is clearly not a tech guy, he doesn't understand that appeal and lightheartedly mak

Good design is valued for it's impact. In other words it sells. Products, services and most importantly ideas. The thing that bothers me most is that people completely miss this point. They just want to order "some design". Witch is complet
