• Responsive is better than fast
• It’s not fully shipped until it’s fast
• Anything added dilutes everything else
• Practicality beats purity
• Approachable is better than simple
• Mind your words, they are important
• Speak like a human
• Half measures are as bad as nothing at
all
• Encourage flow
• Non-blocking is better than blocking
• Favor focus over features
• Avoid administrative distraction
• Design for failure
• Keep it logically awesome
