       | Earlier this year, I saw Gary Hustwit's documentary about Rams.
       | Rams is arguably one of the most influential designers of the
       | last century. His lessons on design are valuable for software
       | engineers and others.

       | Braun products were compromised by his aesthetic choices or not.
       | i.e. were these actually good products at the time, or did they
       | only look good in your living room? Does anyone have data on
       | this?

       | shelfs.

         | This is not a listicle.
         | 
         | This is the earnest design philosophy of one of the most
         | influential designers of our time. A philosophy which can be
         | found in most tech products today (Apple has literally ripped
         | off many of his designs).
         | 
         | If you create software or hardware products, ignore these at
         | your own peril. HN users, perennially frustrated by superior
         | technological solutions losing out to simpler sexier ones,
         | could learn a thing from #3: Good design is aesthetic.

         | much experience can take something away from this.
