HEY GIRL. I INVENTED THE WEB. NO BIG DEAL.
3 biggest problems
WHAT IS THE SMALLEST THING I CAN DO?
A FOOL IS ONE WHO HAS NEVER MADE AN EXPERIMENT
Aristotle maintained that women have fewer teeth than men; although he was twice married, it never occurred to him to verify this statement by examining hiswives' mouths.
- Bertrand Russell
WHAT EXPERIMENTS DO YOU HAVE TO DO
DOES ANYBODY WANT THIS?
There is no such thing as a failed experiment, only experiments with unexpected outcomes
“Good tests kill flawed theories; we remain alive to guess again.”
NO.
Simplest crucial experiment: ask a user
IS A CRAPPY SAMPLE SIZE
IS ALSO A CRAPPY SAMPLE SIZE
WILL MY BOSS LET ME DO THIS
WILL THE BOARD LET US DO THIS?

DO I WANT TO DO IT?

What can I dowithout anyone’s
assistance or permission?
