Tech visionaries aim for elegant ideals but 80/20 "worse is better" compromises usually takeover: • UNIX, not Symbolics Genera • Linux, not Plan 9 • JS-heavy Web 2.0, not the Semantic Web When forecasting the future, consider where adopter laziness can erode elegance.

Ambition and youthful idealism have a complex relationship. More likely to bite off more than you can chew if you don’t realize how big the bite is. Related: anticipating user behavior is hard. Maybe letting the market degrade design elegance is optimal. Aim for 80/20, get 60/40
