More ideas, creativity and productivity
Software should add to what a person brings, not replace it. We measure ourselves by how many more ideas people have, and how much more they finish, because of what we built.
How we practise it
- Generate options, never a single answer, so people can choose and combine
- Take the repetitive work so attention goes to the creative work
- Keep the person's taste and judgement as the final say
The question we ask before shipping
Does this leave the person with more ideas and more done than before?
