@ltratt I wonder if you are overlooking what's known about design (as an activity). You don't use the word at all in the piece—yet one could easily frame the topics discussed as primarily issues of design. I know it's not a discipline you are trained in, but it's not good to risk coming across as oblivious to the expertise of other fields! Even a nod to Fred Brooks' book would be better than nothing.
@theohonohan somehow, the write-up seems to transcend details like design, speaks more to perceptions and pre-conceptions around design and more @ltratt
@tetrislife I guess I find the choice to refer to Hillel Wayne's (narrow!) perspective, and not to show any evidence of knowing about the discipline of design or the huge literature of Science and Technology Studies, unsatisfying.
But it's just a blog post. And yet, it's a blog post by a professor, so I think it's fair to call it out for what I perceive to be a solipsistic attitude.
