Durable Consumables - On building for permanence in an age of obsolescence ![](https://m.stacker.news/120325) > Economists distinguish between an asset's physical life and its economic life. The physical life is how long something can function. The economic life is how long it remains useful relative to alternatives. Technology products increasingly have economic lives far shorter than their physical lives. The thing still works. It's just been obsoleted. ... > The frontier keeps moving. Progress keeps accelerating. The rational response is shorter time horizons, faster replacement cycles, less investment in permanence. I understand the logic. I just wonder what we lose when fewer objects around us are built with the assumption that they'll still be here, still working, still ours, decades from now.

Systems, Stables and Stars ![](https://m.stacker.news/120324) # You can’t make everyone a star performer. I really wanted to believe I could. The instinct is to think “I’ll just coach everyone up to that level.” But the people who can operate in high ambiguity, synthesize across domains, make sound judgment calls under pressure, they’re fundamentally sparse. That’s what makes them exceptional. The goal isn’t to make your entire team interchangeable at the highest level. It’s to accept that star talent will always be non-fungible, and build accordingly. That means two things: First, you need these people on your team. Not later, not “once we can afford it.” If you’re facing problems that could reshape your trajectory and you don’t have anyone who can operate at that level, you’re hoping for luck. Second, you need to use them deliberately. They’re scarce. Burning them out on routine problems is waste. Failing to deploy them on the unprecedented stuff is also waste.

Critique • On elevating craft through critical thinking. ![](https://m.stacker.news/120323) > “The trouble with most of us is that we'd rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.” > `➪ Norman Vincent Peale` ## A tool to improve design effectiveness A design critique is a structured, collaborative session where designers, peers, and stakeholders evaluate a design artifact to provide constructive feedback and improve the design's effectiveness, quality, and alignment with user needs and business objectives. A good design critique is never about personal taste and should always strive to be as objective as possible. ## Critiques as necessary collisions A critique is not a governance mechanism, nor is it a group brainstorming session. It's a necessary collision. It’s the intentional application of adversarial thought to something that isn't finished yet. Its sole purpose is to pressure-test the underlying assumptions. Ultimately, critiques are about injecting constructive doubt into a designer's premature certainty before they build too much or go too far.

Feedback doesn't scale ![Feedback doesn't scale - Listening is always hard, and it only gets harder at scale.](https://m.stacker.news/120155) When you're leading a team of five or 10 people, feedback is pretty easy. It's not even really "feedback”: you’re just talking. You may have hired everyone yourself. You might sit near them (or at least sit near them virtually). Maybe you have lunch with them regularly. You know their kids' names, their coffee preferences, and what they're reading. So when someone has a concern about the direction you're taking things, they just... tell you. You trust them. They trust you. It's just friends talking. You know where they're coming from. At twenty people, things begin to shift a little. You’re probably starting to build up a second layer of leadership and there are multiple teams under you, but you're still fairly close to everyone. The relationships are there, they just may be a bit weaker than before. When someone has a pointed question about your strategy, you probably mostly know their story, their perspective, and what motivates them. The context is fuzzy, but it’s still there.

Has efficiency killed beauty? https://uxdesign.cc/aesthetics-in-design-or-how-we-lost-our-connection-with-the-beautiful-540786b974fd ![](https://m.stacker.news/105161) As interface designers, we know that one of the most crucial dimensions of design — and of the user experience — is aesthetics. There is even a well-known psychological principle that captures this idea: the Aesthetic–Usability Effect (Nielsen Norman Group), which refers that people tend to perceive beautiful interfaces as more usable: # People tend to believe that things that look better will work better — even if they aren’t actually more effective or efficient. Over the past decade, however, our field has undergone a true revolution: the conversation has shifted heavily toward UX, research, testing, and metrics. As an example, let’s look at Google Trends data for the topic User Experience Design. While these are not absolute numbers, the relative interest clearly shows that since 2015, interest in UX has grown by nearly tenfold.

₿ISA debit card The ₿ISA came out of the need to onboard people in the easiest way possible to borderless international payments, so they can pay without even knowing what Bitcoin is. ![](https://m.stacker.news/103511) ![](https://m.stacker.news/103514)![](https://m.stacker.news/103517) A parody of VISA that uses Bitcoin under the hood.

I used the brand manual as inspiration for color usage and for finding alternative typefaces to those the company offers.

DOC • The secret of good metaphors ![](https://m.stacker.news/98625) ![](https://m.stacker.news/98626) ![](https://m.stacker.news/98627) > # _we often think we use metaphors to explain ideas. Good metaphors don’t explain but rather transform how our minds engage with ideas, opening entirely new ways of thinking. When crafting metaphors or communicating complex ideas, our role isn’t really to explain what exists, but to cultivate spaces where new understanding can bloom._
