Design Detail at Monome
October 4th, 2007 at 08:10pm Eloy Zuniga Jr.
If I could program (e.g. design, develop) at any time it would be now. We’re actually at a point where functionality is more about getting our electronic devices to move in fluid motions. The future of development will not consist of walking down a side walk while you stare at a screen resolution that smaller than the span of your hand. This is just one more look out how programmers are thinking more like humans … and it is good. I would go more in to a speech about usability, but I’m not ready yet.
I realize that it’s hard to get excited about such small steps, but the reality is … Programmers didn’t give a “hoot” about aesthetics like this in the past. A programmer was genius if he could get his “machine” to work. Even if it did take 435 confusing steps from start to end with no undo button. Now getting something to work, is nothing to “blog” about. I don’t care if it works. I want to know that it works, it’s easy, and that I don’t have to read instructions to “get it.”
