"programmers think mathematically, designers think statistically"
- me
Both are correct and helpful just different ways of viewing the problem. Programs can't crash so programmers must cover every use case. All crashes are equal.
Users can't be overloaded so designers prioritize the most common tasks. Not all tasks are equal.
The problem is when one world view is applied to the other domain. #UX #PM #Design
