Get ready for some great insights on design
Joel Spolsky is beginning a series on interface design in Joel on Software. This is an absolute must read for anyone concerned about eradicating the pain and suffering of feature-itis. Get the RSS so you don’t miss out.
Product “features” are interesting. We define a “feature” as a part of the product trying to become a part of the customer. When there are too many parts, all yelling at once, the result is feature shock, and product turn-off. The product essentially alienates itself from the user.
A great thing about Joel’s essay is that it will generate plenty of comments, enriching the discussion even more.
