As a product manager, I really appreciate design. I know I’m not good at it myself, but I notice poor design literally everywhere. You’ve heard about “stupid doors” that require a sign to tell you whether to push or pull. Ever gone to the airport? Signs are everywhere.

Signs are evidence of poor design.
