Done is better than perfect. Careless is not done.
Perfection can paralyse. Carelessness can waste just as much. Iteration works when each version is clear enough, cared for enough, and real enough to teach you something. Continue reading
I like finding out why things work, why they break, and who forgot to care.
Records, useful links, projects and small observations from the messy middle between products, workflows, tools and internet culture.

Blame!8.6

The classic question — what would you do if you could go back? — handled with Taniguchi's usual emotional precision and weaponised nostalgia.
