Amazing video on Christopher Alexander's work
- Form: the UI, the house, the thing we are working on in physical form
- Context: What's going on in the world, why are you eating the Snickers bar?
- Fit: Does our solution make the world better?
If you talk about something you want done in terms of form oftentimes you have no fit function, meaning you have no way to tell if it's actually solving a problem or not because you just went ahead and implemented it the way the customer described it on the screen. However Christopher Alexander is not about doing things that people ask so much as making the world better in whatever corner we are working in.
