Programming as Theory Building - Peter Naur · GitHub
https://gist.github.com/onlurking/fc5c81d18cfce9ff81bc968a7f342fb1

I agree with the idea that businesses do not need to grow. Growth is the ideology of a tumor, of a parasite.

A Useful Guide to Bad Type
https://letterror.com/articles/bad-type.html

Very useful, extensive guide. Many points apply to other fields of design as well.

Creating a tool to execute the idea means innovation. Compromising the idea to the tool leads to stagnation.

I should sit down one day with some colleagues and write a similar useful guide to bad web design.
