      • 最近给我最大影响的是这本1988年出版的《The Design of Everyday Things》（简称DOET）。有趣的是，它的作者 Don Norman 曾经是 Apple Fellow，也是《The Unix-Haters Handbook》一书序言的作者。
      • DOET 不但包含并且支持了我的博文《黑客文化的精髓》以及《程序语言与……》里的基本观点，而且提出了比《什么是“对用户友好”》更精辟可行的解决方案。
      • 我觉得这应该是每个程序员必读的书籍。为什么每个程序员必读呢？因为虽然这本书是设计类专业的必读书籍，而计算机及其编程语言和工具，其实才是作者指出的缺乏设计思想的“重灾区”。看了它，你会发现很多所谓的“人为错误”，其实是工具的设计不合理造成的。一个设计良好的工具，应该只需要很少量的文档甚至不需要文档。这本书将提供给你改进一切事物的原则和灵感。你会恢复你的人性。
      • 值得一提的是，虽然 Don Norman 曾经是 Apple Fellow，但我觉得 Apple 产品设计的人性化程度与 Norman 大叔的思维高度还是有一定的差距的。
      • 如果你跟我一样不想用眼睛看书，可以到 Audible 买本有声书来听。
