Andy Allen - What’s wrong with software design today (Dive Club Ep. 40)

[@michaelmason1010]

Fascinating. I heard him at Config and he didn’t get into the deeper “why” of this. Love his thinking. What is meaningful??

[@RobbieTilton]

Hey! A little suggestion perhaps. I tried googling !Boring, but it only shows generic results for the word boring, nothing to do with your company. So I put it in air quotes to force Google to search for the correct phrase: "!Boring". But, it changed nothing, and still just showed results for the word boring. So, my monkey brain concluded: 'fuck it I'm not gonna learn about your company then'. So perhaps it might be good to choose something more Google-able!

I disagree with the take on not preserving good software design. As a software engineer (primarily) I have several books on the process of design. Some around design systems, illustrated with screenshots, sketches and wireframes of popular apps. Books on colours. I have another on design of music hardware and software - Push Turn Move by Bjooks. I have seen books on UI design for games - which is a category of software. ken Kocienda's book on building Apple's Mail, Safari and the iPhone Keyboard. "The macOS App Icon Book" - a book celebrating macOS great app icons. I don't know.. Maybe Andy means something else with that take. There isn't a book about the end-to-end process he has. maybe that is what it's missing. What I would enjoy is a book by Andy though. There isn't a book about the end-to-end process he has. maybe that is what it's missing. I appreciate his writing, design and creative process that he keeps on sharing with us through his blog, twitter an now this KZbin video.
