What is design? from Steve Jobs

how it works


Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it's really how it works. The design of the Mac wasn't what it looked like, although that was part of it. Primarily, it was how it worked. To design something really well, you have to get it. You have to really grok what it's all about. It takes a passionate commitment to really thoroughly understand something, chew it up, not just quickly swallow it. Most people don't take the time to do that.
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they've had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people.
Unfortunately, that's too rare a commodity. A lot of people in our industry haven't had very diverse experiences. So they don't have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one's understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.

Daily Routine of a 4 Hour Programmer

Second, Don’t take any breaks for e-mail, surfing on the net, or anything like it. Here’s why: In an hour’s time, I can get x number of functions coded. I have found that if I work for four continuous hours, I can deliver not just 4 times but 8 to 16 times that amount of work. You will experience this when you 100% focused on one objective and not thinking about anything else. This is what we call the Flow mental state. I plan to write more about the state of Flow in a future blog entry.
