"Every product in the world, the quality at the end of the day is simply a reflection of how much the people who created it gave a shit about the product."
-Tobi, founder of Shopify
Nothing matters if you're not proud of it.
The Head of Design At Airbnb printed out 3 questions for designers at Airbnb to answer:
1) Does it work?
2) Does it scale?
3) Are you proud of it?
If the answer to #3 isn’t a resounding “yes” then they won’t ship (even if metrics suggest you should)
Nice framing
We like to see designing friction as a fundamental design principle when working with digital culture. Instead of following design ethics that strive to eliminate friction we suggest to not only allow, but embrace friction, facilitate it: design [products with] digital technology in a way that makes space for our humanness. Here friction is a core ingredient. Digital technology should create environments and situations in which we can truly connect with each other, as well as with the unknown, the uncontrolled, with all senses, all elements, all emotions. Create situations that are not calculated beforehand, predicted and measured; situations that result from and amount to the present moment.
