Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 16/09/2025This is actually a really good case study of the proposition that "everyone is a designer" That proposition misses the point. No one person designed this outcome; it was produced by a system rather than an individual. There is no intentionality behind it - yet it exists. 2483
dorian @doriantaylor.com · 16/09/2025i have something written somewhere from centuries ago about how a lot of stuff is "undesigned", like it's basically an accident of (mis)management and other priorities, like beach flotsam 1110
Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 16/09/2025This article is the best example of intentionality that I've come across. It's a door, we all know how doors work - but going down that list requires *intention.* Someone has to deliberately design the door experience. www.gamedeveloper.com/design/-quot... 1281
