Week 7 Reading

Chapter 12 discusses how we design to please our bosses; a.k.a. "Help!

And almost any good design idea can be made unusable, by messing up the details of the implementation. Your boss probably doesn't have bad intentions, and trying to understand that good intention is often the best way to figure out how to make your case for a different approach.
