Let's just look ahead searching for new opportunities. I'm sure you can do something else, perhaps even better than you planned.

Sadly, I don't have anything cool like Telerama to fall back on. Oxygen meter monitoring systems, or thousands of financial prediction reports are not cool. Man, if I had known I wasn't going to do any really cool and lasting hacks when I signed up for CS I would have gone and done History / Arts where all the girls were. I feel this same envy.

I just shook my head, and said to myself that I wished there was a single place where I could direct these people to. A place where the principals would recall 'the' story. Sunday night I made my weekly visit to Daring Fireball. What a my eyes saw was a gift.

Jobs certainly saw it as some kind of master plan... but in the end a lot of trial and error was involved. I do think though that sometimes users can't help a lot in saying "this is what we want"; when something is really new users will usually freak out for a while (ie., not like it) and there is where design sense (and that "vision" thing comes in). Oh, and that Folklore link is really great. :) Peter, actually, I mostly agree with you on everything you say here, including the “master plan” thing (which I didn’t think I implied).
