Everyone by now presumably knows about the danger of premature optimization. I think we should be just as worried about premature design - designing too early what a program should do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
At the most basic level, prioritizing design also represents a practical consideration. It's far easier to design first and engineer later.
Delay always breeds danger; and to protract a great design is often to ruin it.
In my opinion, no single design is apt to be optimal for everyone.
Design is inherently optimistic. That is its power.
By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.
If you have to design something, choose things that we need as opposed to frivolous things that we might just want for a month or two for bragging rights.
For many years, I have lived uncomfortably with the belief that most planning and architectural design suffers for lack of real and basic purpose. The ultimate purpose, it seems to me, must be the improvement of mankind.
I'm a big believer you should design work around a vast majority of people who want to do the right thing rather than around the tiny minority who might take advantage.
Perhaps believing in good design is like believing in God, it makes you an optimist.
Using predictive models from engineering and public health, designers will plan safer, healthier cities that could allow us to survive natural disasters, pandemics, and even a radiation calamity that drives us underground.
