'Users hate change'

'Users hate change'

This week NN Group released a video by Jakob Nielsen in which he attempts to help designers deal with the problem of customers being resistant to their new site/product redesign. The argument goes thusly:

  1. Humans naturally resist change
  2. Your change is for the better
  3. Customers should just get used to it and stop complaining

There's slightly more to it than that, he caveats his argument with requiring you to have of course followed their best practices on product design, and allows for a period of customers being able to elect to continue to use the old site, although he says this is obviously only a temporary solution as you don't want to support both.

Discovery testing example: rewriting td.verify()

I'm currently undergoing a 9-month-long in-place rewrite of testdouble.js (which has proven to be a really stupid idea, but mildly entertaining at least).

This morning, my goal was to break down the responsibilities of the totally not unit-tested td.verify() function with a number of smaller modules which are test-driven with an outside-in approach.

I get a bunch of questions about how I "actually" do this, so I logged each step I took in a separate commit. You can see the 9 steps I took, including the final step—realizing that the contract I'd created was not how I wanted, refactoring one of the dependencies' contracts before it had even been written!

  1. Psuedo code the module with comments to start shaking out desirable names of dependencies
  2. [Define thos

Atom template string syntax highlighting

Add language-babel package if you don't already have it then add html:text.html.basic to the "JavaScript Tagged Template Literal Grammar Extensions" field in settings to get it to highlight template strings prefixed with html.

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.
