@hunterwalk What about products that tons of people use that are obviously terribly "designed"? -
@pmarca certainly don't think mass use has to = good design. But good design = usability, & scale often = usability challenges -
@hunterwalk How does one square the importance of design for success with the success of Craigslist? -
“

@wennmachers @pmarca @hunterwalk Design is not an absolute--it is relative to utility, price, functionality, necessity, and other contexts.

@stevesi@wennmachers@pmarca@hunterwalk@bhaines0 It’s the conflicts and constraints that taunt us towards better design
