Designer & Developer Insights

A series of insights obtained from watching videos of designers and developers at work.

Ryan Singer

• Solve the problem on paper first.
• Solve the most difficult screen first.

Neven Mrgan

• Before you show people a prototype make sure it looks good. The details of the design must be fleshed out.
• Start with the screen people spend 90% of their time on. Once that is established the rest of the app will come easy.

Eric Lindvall

• Be slow and methodical.

Zed Shaw

• Take frequent breaks for mind & body.
• Its not about the code – its your understanding of the problem that matters.
• No one creates perfect code right off the bat. Start by getting something working and then improve upon it.

Tim Caswell

• When spiraling out of control collect your thoughts and think through the problem before continuing.
