Rich’s design talk
Great talk, but kind of sad that the tool of choice for doing design work is a good old spreadsheet.. Shouldn’t the “Master of Clojure” use something else? Why hasn’t he built a tool that would facilitate the design process he’s been presenting? Do you think there is a room for a tool like this?
Here’s the link to the talk in case you haven’t seen it: link to this video

On “Ask HN: What team tools do you use in your startup to organize information?”
…example input, output shapes in the form of tables, and the developers asking question while they arriving to common spec. Another is called Decision Matrix (almost as old as Periodic Table;), which was recently popularized by Rich Hickey in his talk Design in Practice1,2. Another valid usecase for shared spreadsheets is Use Cases table. --- 1 link to this video 2 slide #31 link…

On “Volkswagen Will Bring Back Physical Buttons in New Cars”
Reminds on Rich Hickey ranting about touch screens in cars 1 in Design in Practice: > We do not have feature X" is never a valid problem statement. If you need proof of this you only need to look at a modern car which has a touch screen where no one said, "I need to slide my finger on some random piece of glass to a precise point to set my blower in my car while I am driving." No one has ever said that, right? But somebody did say, "We need touch screens because young people will never buy our cars." This is what happens when you are not talking about the problem. 1: link to this video
