In the 10+ years designing for mostly Software companies [1] (large and small) I found that the most important aspect of Interface design is the continuous cycle of eliminated things. Sketching and planning on paper is nice (and a must), bu

When I started http://Fairpixels.pro , I did exactly this. Only instead of an email list, I was writing posts on Reddit. I think having friends & family on the list is nice, but personally I prefer a rougher audience that wil

It’s really just a matter of time. Those that started out optimistic (when it was hyped) but are now saying that they don’t see self driving cars can do the complex situations we humans supposedly can should have some patience. As the tech

It still strikes me why so many people are still against a future with self driving cars. Sure, people throughout history are scared of change & new tech. But if you look at this video and compare the amount of stuff the camera catches

Some comments in here seem to miss the point. Sam’s perspective here is from an investor’s pov. He’s not saying that everybody should build a unicorn. From a VC/Angel perspective it only makes sense to invest in those kinds of compan

We rely mostly on email. Probably 90%. The best part about remote, I believe, is asynchronous communication. Email forces people think harder about what to say, vs trying to fill gaps of silence with nonsense during video calls. This makes
