“Poems are not just form; they always also have a function — as does design. They intend to convey a deeper truth. They want to evoke feelings that (hopefully) result in a certain experience — as does design. In this sense, poems serve as an interface between author and reader who engage in an asynchronous dialog (Adler & Van Doren, 2014) — as does design, just with users instead of readers.”

Make me think
- Tech futurism’s blind spot →
“Tech alone won’t solve the climate crisis. (And believing it can is a recipe for disaster.) But our tech elites simply have too much power to act as though this is entirely someone else’s problem to solve.” - Avoiding featurism →
“The major issue with getting sucked into a black-hole of “featurism” is there is no single person to blame. It probably seems easy to place all the responsibility on PMs or team leaders, but even if they are the ones adding excessive complexity to a given project, it is the role of developers and designers to speak up.”
