“Talent is insignificant. I know a lot of talented ruins. Beyond talent lie all the usual words: discipline, love, luck, but most of all, endurance.” Baldwin's advice on writing brainpickings.org/2016/02/08…

We’re hiring! We don’t really like job titles but if we had to use them, we’re looking for what you might call: - a mix of Producer and COO - a Creative Technologist, Designer Who Codes, or Front-End Developer xxix.co/open-positions

Or, there is only one kind of design: the designing of capacities for interacting. Not a contradiction, just reframing. And in all cases, “Everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones.” Herbert Simon, talking cybernetics xitter.cf/michaelryap/status/988…

There's at least two kinds of design: designing a thing (an object, a system of objects etc.) and designing how to design the thing.

This "pre-design" phase is also one of the most misunderstood (and under-appreciated) aspects of Product Design. Yet it holds the key for the product's success. xitter.cf/michaelryap/status/967…
Michael Yap@michaelryap24 Feb 2018
There are two kinds of product design: pre-design and design. The latter is familiar—form-making, elevating craft. Pre-design is about formulating vision. It's imagining the difference between the current state and desired future states, then convincing others to make it reality.
