Totally agree that this is how deep, necessary changes happen on the cultural level. I think the political task of our generation is to integrate these issues into the wider economic ones, because they are by no means mutually exclusive (wh

One of the most striking things missing is Picasso's play on perspective. Often his paintings would look at the subject though multiple points of view at the same time. Or he would break apart shapes, reorient them, and put them back t

Totally fair point. In both cases, I think design follows the Rule of Least Surprise to create a consistent experience for users. It's about business aims, too. WhatsApp went after native messaging, so it made sense for them to make th

I was really impressed by WhatsApp's approach. When I installed in on my iPhone, it looked just like the native iOS messaging app. When I helped my mother-in-law install it on her Android, it had a totally different look, much closer t

If all goes well, I work through a process like this. I reach for this tool when the bug in question seems to have its source in faulty logic, as opposed to say, resource consumption. 1. Reproduce the bug as consistently as possible. 2. Fin

Hi Julien - would you mind talking a little about what you see as the value difference to a student completing your two year program vs completing a bootcamp program and say, jumping into an apprenticeship or learning on the job somewhere?

I see. That's why I partially blame the teacher in that situation. I think a critical part of teaching is to contextualize the material in the larger picture. I had a math teacher in high school who, when I asked why I had to learn the
