What's on your mind?

[Kain Nobel]

I'm feeling pretty disillusioned with modern tech these days. Something tells me we're going backwards and forgetting what good design actually consists of. It's almost like everything is just rushed, rushed, rushed. "You've got exactly 40 hours to make me something that doesn't work very well" "Yes boss, I'm on it!" "Tell your engineers to not put too much effort into making it usable" "Not a problem, easy $, cha-ching, cha-ching!"

"So... what are we building today?"

"Nothing, we've outsourced to China. We're laying off most of the engineering team. Don't worry, I have a sales gig for you though; we (China) just manufactured 20,000 wifi enabled toasters, we need you to sell it to the masses."

"Aye aye, Cap'n!"
