Devon @devonzuegel·Nov 21, 2018Why are designers relatively rare contributors to open source? (I have a few ideas but I'm curious to hear others' 🤓)4833141
Andy Matuschak@andy_matuschak·Nov 22, 2018Design requires holistic, auteur-like thinking, which doesn’t fit well into incremental participation models of the open source world.4577
Adrián Mato @adrianmg·Nov 22, 2018Holistic approach/thinking is not incompatible with executing/evolving in smaller steps 🙃1
Andy Matuschak@andy_matuschakReplying to @adrianmg and @devonzuegelYes, that’s true, and great designers do make use of that fact! Requires very “4-D chess” mindset on the part of the designer, though, which does represent a barrier to entry.10:27 AM · Nov 22, 2018·Twitter for iPhone
