By sharing the answers to four simple questions: what am I good at?
how do I perform?
what do I value?
what contribution can be expected from me on this project
you give your team the means to figure out how best to work with you, while at the same time setting expectations around how you can best work with them.
The things that make it inefficient are part of what makes it so valuable to people.
Your future gets shorter and you recognize that. In recent years, I have had no desire to do anything but work and be with [my son] John. I hear people talking about going on a vacation or something and I think, what is that about? I have no desire to go on a trip. My perfect day is sitting in a room with some blank paper. That’s heaven. That’s gold and anything else is just a waste of time.

面白いゲームというのは
パッと見て、何をしたらいいのかが
とてもわかりやすいんですよね。
目的がひとめで見えて、たとえ失敗しても、
それは自分のせいだと思えるみたいに
とても整理された構造をしているんです。
人間と人間は絶対に通じあわない(それは動物同士が通じ合わないのとおなじ)。
機械と機械は(かならずといっていいほど)通じあう(それがおなじ言語体系で書かれているなら)。
人間と機械は通じあうようにシステム化することができる(人間中心のデザインで作られていれば)。 これが人間中心のデザインをする唯一の理由であるように思う。
