"We all grow up with ten great stories about our families, our childhoods … they probably have nothing to do with the truth of things, but they’re yours. You know them. And you love them. So use them. And that’s what I did. That’s what I reached for, to become a writer."

Timely considering that as professional hierarchies and social priorities fracture, it’s harder and harder to put a finger on the role we’re playing.

"This whole social media/guru/pseudo-futurist-douchebags-spewing-bullshit-all-day-long culture of manufactured “influence” needs to come to an abrupt end. It isn’t healthy. It isn’t healthy for companies like Google, for VCs, for startups, for product managers, for marketing, for journalism, and it sure as shit isn’t healthy for innovation either. We are so busy trying to find ways to reward well-funded mediocrity that we completely overlook real successes in innovation. We are celebrating all the wrong things."

"Writing a poem is like having an affair, a one-night stand; a short story is a romance, a relationship; a novel is a marriage—one has to be cunning, devise compromises, and make sacrifices."

I just love how subtly this happened, the way it does in real life.

"[JC Penney & Uk.gov] both involve root-and-branch redesigns, and both redesigns put simplicity at their heart. One has been a roaring success, one a complete disaster."

“A Tale of Two Simpli-Cities” @tomewing @brainjuicer
What JC Penney had done was drive for simplicity without taking into account the emotional nature of discounting strategies. By making decisions easy, they had made them less fun.
snip
It’s the same reductive approach JC Penney took – and for them it failed, because fun, fast and easy in retail means more than just price. Gov’s simplicity is emotionless, but paradoxically it shows a better understanding of emotion than most sites. It knows what a happy experience means for its users, and it works extremely hard to deliver one by doing only what is absolutely necessary.
