A story

another story

the challenge

life after “it depends”

Time makes fools of best practices & rules

people love listicles

“Citation, please?”

just the interesting and beautiful, please

my answer

What do I know?

How do I know what I know? 

How much AM I comfortable with? 

What do I need to rethink?

so I started digging

how do i design?

Turned into

Rules, hunches & coin-flips

Rules

hunches

coin-flips

why?

in the time it takes to give this talk four new

manifestos will be published to medium

ignorance of the opinions of others is no vice

User Experience is everyone’s job EXCEPT WHEN

it’s the job of specialists

Mobile first EXCEPT WHEN

there's no such thing as mobile

It’s wrong to guess EXCEPT WHEN

you value constraints

plan like each release is your last EXCEPT WHEN

iteration & flexibility are key

Prototypes rule EXCEPT WHEN

anything but production code is a waste

information needs organizing EXCEPT WHEN

imposing structure is a crime

Patterns support design EXCEPT WHEN

if it’s a template it’s sh*t

people want your expertise  EXCEPT WHEN

they need your beginner’s mind

who decides?

I’m scared to death big data doesn’t mean

Big Wisdom.

ask yourself

What are your Rules, hunches

& coin-flips?

THANKS!
