I happened to read something about the 80/20 rule, which makes me thinking — should it also apply to the matter of design? Sometimes I ponder: Is it a good way to do things to the most perfect degree? It’s hard to be given the idea that insistence on your professional is wrong. However, according to 80/20 principle, you should embrace the 80 percent growth of the initiate 20% effort you put in. So to say, in the matter design, when we want to build a function that can work for 80% of the user, you should just take it as soon as possible, because for the rest 20% perfection, you need 80% of the efforts to get it done, which for most of the cases, sadly, we won’t have time for them. From time to time, people who I’ve been working with are kind of pissing me off by throwing things out as if they don’t really care because they think they are the negligible 20% perfection, because I believe the crucial facts between a average design and great design rely on those 20% perfection. Maybe the best way for me to solve this dilemma is to follow the 80/20 design, and remember to polish the lasting 20% when time is available.
