      Has engineering culture warped design more than design has affected engineering? I ponder this

                      Strongest endorsement of blameless post-mortems I’ve ever read. If you stop at the person who erred, you don’t solve the real problem.

                                      Reading this book has been like watching The Godfather for the first time today - you don’t realize how much design culture references it until you’ve read it. Affordances! Constraints! This updated version of Everyday Things even addresses how overloaded these terms have become.

                                        I haven’t seen The Godfather but I assume that’s a good analogy
