Make it simple
I was listening to the Lex Fridman podcast whilst working today. I listen to stuff religiously whilst working – I find it helps me focus and whilst I might not be taking it all in, (there’s a lot going on in the brain of a developer working), certain sound bites manage to bubble to the surface. Here’s one I caught today that I thought I’d share.
“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.”
Take this example:
It’s a simple layout, simple grid, a recognised design pattern if you will. What elevates it and in doing so makes it more complicated is the hover effect to reveal the title and supporting meta, combined with the image motion. All in all it’s an enriched experience.
