Tiffany Conroy: Design Processes, Not Interfaces
Computers are tools that help people accomplish tasks by making the process easier, faster, cheaper, less error-prone, or just more fun.
But what tasks? And by what process? What parts of the process can the computer make better? How can users interact with the computer to make it do its part of the process? Only lastly can we ask: what must be presented to the user and how?
Tiffany is a Canadian living in Berlin doing front-end development and interaction design at SoundCloud at SoundCloud.

Kelly Sutton, LayerVault: From MVP to business in 9 months
LayerVault started as a Quora thread. "What are the tools or methods to manage design files?" Allan Grinshtein sent Kelly Sutton (me) an IM, "Man it sucks to be a designer. Think you could build something?" Sutton had a prototype ready to show off the next Monday. Nine months later, they are used by the best designers worldwide.
While the days of LayerVault are still extremely early, there are quite a few lessons learned. Is "just ship it" always the best advice? What’s the best way to deal with copycats? How can I work as fast as humanly possible?
Kelly Sutton is a software developer from New York City. He’s currently traveling the world. In the past, he’s made HackCollege and the Cult of Less and worked for blip.tv and Gilt Groupe.
