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” Iain Barker | UX Australia 2009

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. Iain Barker | UX Australia 2009
