UI design lesson learned over & over: people learn by using a product not by being told how to use a product.

whenever I ponder tool design decisions in public, putting out ideas and their tradeoffs, people often go "why not add all of them, as a user preference?"
I think it's a well-intentioned idea, but it doesn't work in general, for both technical as well as UX reasons (thread)

The strategy required to find a great opportunity (lots of saying yes and exploring widely) is different from the strategy required to make the most of a great opportunity (lots of saying no and remaining focused).

Why must we "hack" everything?
We're obsessed over the final 2%, while ignore the first 98%.
We seek magic cures and short-cuts, instead of valuing the EFFORT and hard work that it takes to actually make change, stay healthy, or succeed at whatever we do in life.

The interface equivalent of this might be elements that feel important but that are not. e.g. background elements that demand attention, so people assume they are relevant to their task.

I always find it weird when designers say they're doing IA work when what they're actually doing is just determining the information and visual hierarchy of the elements on a single page. Am I alone in feeling like this isn't IA work?

Christopher Alexander wrote a lot about “unfolding.”
Unfolding is the process of learning what something should be by working on it.

This may be the most important equation in business, politics and life.

everyone at a company should know what design can do for their business. but most would say it’s to “make things look good or easier to use.” yet the biggest impact design can have is getting potential customers/users to product value.
ideally as fast, easy and delightful as possible but getting people to value is the priority.
