Jussi Pakkanen's “Let’s play a game of not adding options” GUADEC 2023 UX & software quality talk

This is a short talk I wanted to archive and share for convenience and posterity, because it is fundamental to understanding GNOME's design minimalism that allows software engineering quality and sustainability. It is a trimmed excerpt from the 7-hours-long "day 2 track 1" GUADEC 2023 conference recording found here: www.youtube.co...

Incredible to think about the fact that it is not a solved problem for six circles. Really great analogy for increases in complexity. Thank you for this presentation.

I can feel this problem coming, when I go to work. I can smell the circles from afar. I'm in Uni, and I do crazy Linux stuff at home, and already having multiple levels of directories or any kind of caching in any context, reminds me of this circles thing. "Unknown complexity"

What is the name of this mathematical problem, if one would want to read more about it?

[@user-pw5do6tu7i]

As a programmer that being an open problem irks me. It seems so solveable, but im guessing it just scales way more and isnt computationally feasable

wait till you hear about the travelling salesman problem

3 Years ago you made:

How did it turn out?

[@JeffFortinTam]

I'm still using them in the day-to-day. Those earcups have not degraded! Pretty happy with that.
