Designing a product is keeping five thousand things in your brain and fitting them all together in new and different ways to get what you want. And every day you discover something new that is a new problem or a new opportunity to fit these things together a little differently.
And it’s that process that is the magic.

on 20 Nov 11Charlie Munger is the Steve Jobs of the investment industry. Steve Jobs is the Steve Jobs of product design.
And this is a great quote. Needs to be tempered with the ability to focus on what’s really important, and that’s skill that I’m not sure how we can learn from Steve.

on 20 Nov 11That would be the first part of the quote
“You know, one of the things that really hurt Apple was after I left John Sculley got a very serious disease. It’s the disease of thinking that a really great idea is 90 percent of the work. And if you just tell all these other people “here’s this great idea,” then of course they can go off and make it happen. And the problem with that is that there’s just a tremendous amount of craftsmanship in between a great idea and a great product. “
