Holy hell is that off-putting. I had a few coupons for Lyft but I'll pass.

I should mention, though, that you can have the healthy culture of driver respect at a place like Lyft with the professionalism of Uber. Sounds like the sweet spot to me.

I have this nagging urge to take a step back and examine the necessity for a piece of paper in the first place.

Amazon's profits 13 years ago

They reinvest heavily. It's sad that my interview didn't result in an offer. I really love Amazon.

Flat Pixels 13 years ago

Took the words out of my mouth. I can't believe we're still debating this as if it's one or the other.

Really interesting point of view - thanks.

Do you participate at other sites, like IndieGoGo? I ask because I have a project that I think would get traction but KS has strange rules around some types of projects and mine is excluded.

Almost Flat Design 14 years ago

I don't think we should avoid having opinions on this; I just think it's overdiscussed.

In the spirit of you calling me out, I will say that most of what Apple does (particularly in iOS) is beautiful and usable.

Almost Flat Design 14 years ago

I've been doing "almost flat" for years because it's the simplest expression of a design without gutting affordances.

Things that are interactive look interactive, and these attributes are only used for that practical purpose and never for pure decoration.

I really don't understand why this is even a debate. Do we need a daily post talking about how Apple's overwrought, realism aesthetic is tacky (it often is) and how flat design is too flat (which it is)?

This issue has officially reached dead horse status.
