Great User Interfaces Quote From Neal Ford

Great quote from Neal Ford on user interface design:

"Good user interfaces are like pornography: I know it when I see it, I can't do it myself, and you don't want to see me try."
 

I have been correctly accused of quoting Neal Ford too much. Yet this is an idea that could spread far and wide, and would do no harm.

Engineer != designer. It's a completely different use of the brain.

    I definitely agree with the quote... But I do want to add one part:

    While engineer != designer, engineers make the best decisions when they are exposed to the design side of the world.
