Don’t answer questions beginning with “it depends”. It’s tedious and annoying. Everybody know “it” always “depends”. If you have something useful to say, frame it as an if/then qualified answer. Like, “I can speak to 2 cases. If we’re talking X then...and if we’re talking Y...”

what kinda trap you setting here? 😂 you know better than I do that this varies sooooo much depending on scale, scope, starting niche... the bigger the userbase gets the more you have to anticipate evil+smart users. 100–10,000 users: smart+good 100,000: dumb+good, dumb+evil 1m+

eh.. feels like a fake decision. Would design for D&G AND S&E. If just the former you have glaring security holes. If just the latter you limit usability.

Smart and dumb. Smart users are counting on outsourcing cognitive load to you, design to let smart people act dumb and succeed.

Dumb and good. Good because most people are good. Dumb because people are often distracted. "Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them." -- Whitehead

obviously depends on the product, but there is generally better payoff on the ones designed for a dumb and good majority
