Mediocrity by a thousand shortcuts.

Cameron Moll

I learned the other day via Anthony Baker that my old friend Cameron quoted me recently in his talk at the Front End Design Conference ¹. I think it was something I said when we had the chance to catch up a few weeks ago since we definitely touched on the challenge of design quality within big companies and I guess I must have said something smart/interesting :D

But Cameron also dropped this fantastic little pun in his presentation, so it’s only fair that I quote him back. This is the trouble with so many things — notably based on recent news I’d say includes Boeing, Tesla, and probably most AI startups.
