I've used a quote from Paul Graham (an %u2028essayist, programmer and language designer) in some of my recent presentations about IxD practice. The quote is:
%u201CIdeas get developed by explaining them to the right kind of person. You need that resistance, just as a carver needs the resistance of the wood.%u201D - Paul Graham For my IxD practice, this concept of the resistance of the medium plays out (as Jack suggests for himself) in my collaborations with other individuals. Particularly, my experience with the Cooper method where the design team comprises two people is one that I find tremendously rewarding. Two people can be even greater than the sum of their parts in a close design relationship. And the dialogs that surround design ideation and analysis represent the pull and tug of ideas being crafted into soundness.
