Follow him @ericries. UI and Capability. Fall in love with the problem, not the product. Over the past week, I've met some teams at various pitch and networking events where my first reaction was, "Whoa, back the truck up...
Why are you doing that in the first place? Why that problem? Isn't that too small/saturated/done already/a total death march/etc.? " It's as if I told you that, because of RA Dickey, I've decided to quit my job as a VC and that I'm just going to practice throwing a knuckleball everyday for the next year in an effort to make the major leagues.

Ceci étant posé, le graphisme, comme l’ergonomie et le code, doit servir ce but.
