Layr Principles

2 principles

01Keep AI slop out of your interface.Every visible decision should support meaning, action, identity, accessibility, or comprehension. Remove what does none of those.
02Design the task, not the requested component.A feature is complete when the user can enter, understand, act, wait, succeed, fail, recover, and continue through the surrounding task.
