Interesting…
“Interesting” is a powerfully underappreciated word. It allows us to acknowledge a novel aspect of a design without having to bless the entire implementation as “good”. “Interesting” gives us the freedom to consider the look/behavior/implications of part of a design separately from its whole. This allows us to explore new ideas and try applying them to existing designs. In a way, we needed “interesting” to evolve, to improve, to build upon our fellow humans’ achievements. I know this is weird, but I just realized how important “interesting” is, and the more I thought about it, the more interesting it became.
