Scott Adams’ User Interface for Reality
This is a true, true, gem. Whenever people mention Scott’s work, I mention this video. Now it has a link in my yard, so I can share it more easily. Since you are here, I recommend you watch it and make notes — they can be “one-liners” — on how each one of those “buttons”…
