Why HN links it

Linked once, via the 'faster horse' phrase, to a 2009 post on design. The commenter uses it as a jab at the HUD menu concept, not as an assessment of the post.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

Sliced Bread is a user experience design shop that uses design thinking to solve all kinds of problems for some of the brightest companies in the world.

What Hacker News says?

  1. What you want is a faster horse: http://www.slicedbreaddesign.com/blog/index.php/2009/10/a-fa... There's nothing wrong with this, but maybe you would be happier with something like XFCE. (sudo apt-get install xfce)
