“basecamp elevated interaction design as we experience it today, everywhere, across thousands of products. seriously. thousands of teams around the world were using basecamp, and thousands of teams were influenced by its early implementation of edit in place, subtle progressive disclosure and non-refresh data manipulation, and overall elegant simplicity (punch me for writing that phrase).”

““We live in a selfish age,” Hooper says, “obsessed with how we project various versions of ourselves. But you have to tell this story from the point of view that God exists. And what God means in practice is the act of compassion, the struggle of living your life in a moral way.””

“Lee and his colleagues produced a manual of cultural technology—it’s known around S.M. as C.T.—that catalogued the steps necessary to popularize K-pop artists in different Asian countries. The manual, which all S.M. employees are instructed to learn, explains when to bring in foreign composers, producers, and choreographers; what chord progressions to use in what country; the precise color of eyeshadow a performer should wear in a particular country; the exact hand gestures he or she should make; and the camera angles to be used in the videos (a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree group shot to open the video, followed by a montage of individual closeups).”

“I have a Photoshop Action set up that takes a history snapshot then scales to 200%. That means previewing at the Retina display’s resolution is only a click away. If you’re feeling confident you’ve built everything well, you should be able to scale up, edit, then scale down and continue editing without degradation. If you run into trouble, a snapshot is there to take you back. Using one document for both resolutions means not having to keep two documents in sync. It’s a huge advantage.”
