Forget “show, don’t tell”. Engage, don’t show!

Read Original

The author draws a parallel between good API/UI design, where user effort yields incremental value, and effective education. Using a piano lesson as an example, they argue that learners need to understand the 'why' and get hands-on practice immediately to stay motivated and retain information, rather than being bogged down by abstract theory first.

Forget “show, don’t tell”. Engage, don’t show!
