Usability Zen

A meditation over a funny manual sentence 'Assembly of Japanese bicycle requires great peace of mind' in »Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance« reminds me of the intend of the original MVC paper by Trygve Reenskaug - the subjective immersion you should feel when operating an application: The test of the machine is the satisfaction it gives you. There isn't any other test. If the machine produces tranquility it's right. If it disturbs you it's wrong until either the machine or your mind is changed. The test of the machine is always your own mind. There isn't any other test - Robert M. Pirsing; Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance; Chapter 14 By the way, MVC plays the same immersion argument Jeff Bezos brought up for the Kindle design: "books should disappear when they are red"
