Design Disaster
In an attempt to gain an understanding of the software design he was carrying around in his head, I sat down with a colleague and started talking face to face with him. To facilitate the conversation, I started sketching my emergent understanding of his design in my notebook. As you can see, by the time we finished talking, 20 minutes later, I ran out of ink and I wasn’t much better off than before we started the conversation:
If I had a five year old son, I would proudly magnetize my sketch on the fridge right next to his drawings.

Eraseable media like whiteboards are de rigueur…just like Edison’s perspiration & inspiration quote, 99% of what’s drawn winds up wiped out and the 1% endures.
In this specific case, 0% is unendurable.
For those, the whiteboard also is a means of destroying the evidence 😉
I should probably rip the page out of my notebook and can it. But since no one, not even I, can make sense of it, I’ll let it stay. Unintentional encryption at it’s finest.
Love it – forget the Babel fish, you need a babble fish!
