Revisit Your Design Ideas

Sometimes (a lot of times) I’ll design a screen or some code and I think “not bad”. Since it’s not bad, it gets my approval and gets moved into production. Thankfully, I often realize that it’s not a bad idea to revisit those designs and see if there’s something I can improve [...]
