Composition by writing out rhythms and chords, and writing out multiple parts for multiple instruments, is just a different experience than playing it out on a keyboard. It lets you put more thought into how things line up and are organized

Even five years ago, the student loans were significantly lower, right? I graduated 9 years ago, and I paid exponentially less. I can't even believe it when I see the tuition costs, even at my public university. I find myself wanting t

The point of college is not to maximize your earning potential. It is to improve yourself, invest in yourself, and become a better human being. Higher pay is a possible side-effect.

We neglect to appreciate the effective and intentional system that college is, that forces us to have such a variety of new experiences, most not of our own choosing. It would be a shame if our ability to make wise, independent choices at a

I disagree, and I think you're projecting both judgement and a cognitive bias for an ideal situation for you that would never occur in reality. It's a sort of golden age or nirvana fallacy, looking back at universities of the past

I completely agree with the noble goals you've called out, and I'll add two points: First, when is it truly undesirable to broaden your skills, to develop intangible quality, to improve your abilities as a human being beyond a spe

Give 'em 5 years, then ask. I had very little understanding of the importance of my college education the year after I graduated, but I think it's invaluable now.

Oh I realize the history, hence why I said "inextricable from the humanity and the history" -- so true. I guess it's just a different way of looking at land, and the history is a big part of it. The parks of the west existed

Acadia ( http://npmaps.com/wp-content/uploads/acadia-map.jpg ) has always been an example of this for me, both in how many private lands like this exist in National Parks, and of the striking difference between the

Technologies are not as relevant to the market until they're implemented in a product. The challenges in that task make technology demonstrations something of a sideshow alone.

Ah, but it often belies and smooths over the important distinguishing factor of data: statistical significance. Simply having "plural" is not enough. You need a well-designed experiment, with well-controlled variables, good meth

Sure it's important that people grok that there's more stuff, but for pete's sake, pick one affordance. That just looks as clunky and indecisive as a drawer with both a knob and a handle.

There are all kinds of gaps even then. For example, you can't invite a google organization (company) to the event directly in any smooth fashion. The solution is to copy the link and e-mail it to your list. After that, there's no

This is a phenomenal practical look into not only really useful debugging tactics, but also helps make sense of the inner workings of Angular and its Javascript underpinnings. Great article!

That's a huge tell: the convenience and value of having all your accounts aggregated far outweighs the security concerns, and frankly even the myriad and difficult and frankly frightening methods of connecting your accounts. That'

My argument is that they are not optimizing for lifetime value, and in fact are wrong. It's difficult to measure, thus they go for the route that is easier to measure. Classic McNamara/quantitative fallacy, and I think it applies

Okay, I challenge you to discover a "revealed preference" that says they like overlays. Not that they click them, not that it "results in an action," but that they like them and they will be more likely to return to th

Oh yes. Yes yes. Learn this and understand how it applies to your systems, your processes, and especially (surprise) your people. This is one quarter of how W. Edwards Deming promoted organizational quality control—understanding how variati

Agree, I take the opposite side of this argument as well, and the author is very biased toward a certain personality type. I love open office plans and I think they have intangible benefits that many people discount. But, I'm tired of

Gotcha, yes -- it comes from understanding the system and its optimum. Certainly not from mindlessly advocating for either extreme.

Yeah, maybe the specific implementation here isn't so great.

Solid basic idea: systems enable you to go fast with high quality. It's not always a tradeoff, folks, and the long-term benefit of quality is more speed. It's a clear winner.

> where any change will either just trade one quality for another, or worsen them all on average. Doesn't the fact that a change can worsen all three qualities imply that there must be a change that can also improve all three qualit

Well, you and I can disagree on the usefulness of this article then. By that analogy, I see quite a few concrete and "useful" details on how not to crash the plane, here. It's just a nice summary of some common errors, with s

Perfection is not a requirement. It's a nice article. I refuse to be critical of something just because it's not the epitome of function that solves all the problems in UX design education.

Quite to the contrary, I thought the article contained a great list. I see these mistakes all the damn time, and for that reason, it's clear that there's not a universal understanding of how to get them right. This high-level &quo

It's the right question, but the answer is more complex than the asker usually wants to recognize. Too often it's used as a short-term stick rather than as a means to improve. For that reason alone, it's best to ignore the sp

Speed, quality, and market fit have the same parent: systems thinking. If you get your systems right, all three go up at once. The tradeoff is a false dichotomy. And logically, this makes sense. If you've doubled your workforce, what t
