Braille, and the evolution of software development

Read Original

This article draws a parallel between the evolution of Braille—from embossed letters to a practical 6-dot system—and modern software development. It argues that the best solutions, like Braille invented by a blind person, come from deeply understanding the user's problem through iterative improvement and rejecting inferior alternatives due to pride or tradition.
