The number of product people who want software to be built in an 'intuitive and simple manner' when they cannot even explain the problem domain in a intuitive and simple manner is quite incredible.

    My internship was at a company where the CEO/founders mentra was "my 80 year old grandma should be able to use it".

    10 years later, it's the biggest homegrown tech company /success story in my country.

    @iceb I guess I just don't think "design a product my 80 year old grandma should be able to use' is much better than "design a product, get to it"
