Taste for Makers
- The core claim that good design is not subjective but has identifiable properties is provocative and mostly convincing
- “Good design is simple” and “good design is timeless” feel right but also like things people say without fully believing
- The connection between math and design was the most interesting part — symmetry, inevitability, surprise
- Useful framing: taste is the ability to recognize good work, and you develop it by studying lots of examples
