Design for the Novice, Configure for the Pro

I recently wrote about my philosophy of minimalism that “less is more” with the mantra “when in doubt, leave it out.”

I’ve had a long-standing rule of thumb in product design, which I call “design for the novice, configure for the pro.”  I started saying this back in 2001/02, long before the era of Web 2.0, lean startups or even the advent of AJAX.
