Design philosophy
Seek paradigm shifts. Imagine the future and build it now. Those who can spot trends of shifts will have enduring success.
Embrace the entrepreneurial spirit. Act like the owner of everything you do.
Software is beautiful. Making high quality software is a calling and privilege to do so.
Method makes magic. Design is not magic. It's a method—a rigorous process of exploration, iteration, and validation until you reach a result that feels magical.
Iteration over perfectionism. The number one way to be more productive is to reduce the iteration cycle.
