Is good ever good enough?
Iain Barker | UX Australia 2009
“idealism is what precedes experience;cynicism is what follows”David T. Wolf
Iain Barker | UX Australia 2009
“idealism increases in direct proportion to one’s distance
from the problem”John Galsworthy
Iain Barker | UX Australia 2009
“idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality the cost
becomes prohibitive”William F. Buckley
Iain Barker | UX Australia 2009
Design is compromise
“making the right trade off between the ‘right’ interface for the designer, and the ‘possible in my lifetime’ reality confronting the engineer”

Sometimes good has to be good enough!
When you are standing in the gutter, aiming for the stars might be too far to go in one step.
I’d rather get to the pavement as quickly as possible rather than spend all that time building a space ship standing in rubbish.
