„The term bug, in the sense of defect, dates back at least to 1878 when Thomas Edison wrote "little faults and difficulties" in his inventions as "Bugs".“

Being crystal clear all the way, at every iteration. Use any outcome to become more clear. Its learning by doing.

I would really love to see a switch in iOS and MacOS to choose between #liquidglass and #solid. The new design is just too distractive, especially under iOS.

While interface design should reduce distraction, and help to achieve results easier, this is a real PITA and #UIX #desaster.

I just installed MacOS #Tahoe 26 on my Mac and iPhone. The design is just terrible.

#LiquidGlass seems to be #BrokenGlass. This might be due to missing implementation in apps, but it feels #off. All these outlined objects clutter the view, border with other elements without a gap.

Where do new ideas come from? The answer is simple: differences. Creativity comes from unlikely juxtapositions.
