Design Is Compromise
2 hours ago
- Compromise is neither good nor bad; it is a daily decision-making and prioritizing process.
- Choosing the right compromises defines good design, not avoiding compromise altogether.
- Every product involves tradeoffs; claiming 'uncompromising' is impossible.
- Tradeoffs expose strengths and weaknesses, and opinionated design embraces those weaknesses.
- Good design is opinionated, making clear choices to excel at specific things for a target audience.
