Design
In 2018 this was an outline: a title and "Topics to cover and ideas". It was never in the published book, and it is shown exactly as it was left. The second edition fills it from the articles the map names.

Topics to cover and ideas
- explain what it is
- Steve Jobs and Jon Ive on Design
- It's about everything
- 'Design of everyday things' book
- Design is not about how things look, it is about how they work
- Microsoft approach to design (story about how for J.Ive change is not a desirable goal, but a side effect of good design)
- with good design, evolution feel natural and the current status quo quickly feels out of date
- attention of detail , making it work
- Simple is very hard (you know it is right when there is nothing to add and remove (without severely affecting the meaning))
- 'I don't have time to send you a short letter so I'm going to send a long one'
- constant refactoring is how we get to good design
- speed of iteration , beats quality of design (and ironically the speed of iteration will create a more quality outcome)
