The look of the cheat sheet lives up to the 'for Programmers by programmers' part...

A dozen operations may be more than enough for 80% of users. Designing for the remaining 20% is a common UI design mistake.

What's your logic behind this number? Do you think Microsoft made all those billions selling crappy software to geeks like us?

The problem has more to do with the excessive number of available commands. My suggestion is to cut the clutter and avoid hierarchical UI elements altogether, regardless of their nature.

Github makes it easier to track projects without having to download 3kb files only to forget about them several days later... And of course, there is the Git part.

My message is clear. You are free to disagree, just don't feel the need to bring down my piece sentence by sentence...

Sure, I might have gone overboard, but the basic idea is still the same: That thing needs serious design thinking, not patchwork. I consider it unethical for a company to throw a smokescreen instead of solving the real problem. And my piece

What I said reflects solely my opinion on the people who enter the contest. As far as I am concerned, anyone who takes UI design seriously wouldn't bother doing so... Again, I am not expecting you to agree.

I do not run a design firm. I am just a no-name freelance designer who loves his job. If you think that I wrote the article because I am concerned about paying my bills, then you completely missed the point. It's sad to live in an era where

Allow me to chime in, UI design is as methodical as engineering and accounting. There are quantitative and qualitative methods to build and evaluate interfaces. Maybe you are referring to aesthetics, but that's only a fraction of what an in

Everyone seems to be pointing in the article to the Netflix prize, but hey, don't take my phrase word for word. That's actually an exception that confirms the rule... What I meant is that spec work in design is being tolerated by both compa
