Whats so thoroughly disappoints me about the design community is that so few of them are actual disruptors. Browsing through these interviews, the questions are almost entirely about their taste --a very superficial understanding of design. And unsurprisingly, their tastes almost always have the minimal Japanese aesthetic, and a lot of talk about 'simplicity'.<p>As part of my job I have the pleasure of occasionally working with some of the more recognized product designers in the world, and very few of them are anything other than "basic" in their public taste profile. The majority of their concentration is on market psychology, shifting trends in technology enabling new designs to be possible, and the really hard problems of global design. They tend to have out there hobbies focused around building things and their work process is not a endless flow of whitespace and pretty objects.<p>All this to say -- I am disappointed that the design community has gotten sucked into designing itself more than designing for others -- a process I know is a lot messier than this website shows.
