• good design is opaque in foresight & obvious in hindsight.
  • knowing when to stop is a strength.
  • design should meet needs without calling attention to itself, like a good waiter taking care of you unobtrusively.
  • a good mental model can make an arbitrary relationship meaningful. invent one when necessary, but remember that a mental model doesn't mean you understand the underlying structure.
