每天有数以亿计的人使用Apple产品；数千人在加利福尼亚州库比蒂诺的Apple园区工作；但真正参与核心设计的却只有寥寥数人。Creative Selection讲述了这位幕后少数核心成员的职业生涯，他是一位备受推崇的软件工程师，曾经历Steve Jobs时代的最后辉煌：那是属于Apple的黄金时代。

……界面太烂了。现在好多操作原本只要点一下，现在得点三次。我怀疑特斯拉是不是犯了错，用了 A/B testing 而不是像苹果那样采用愿景驱动的设计（vision-driven design）。（顺便提一句，刚读完苹果前员工 Ken Kocienda 写的《Creative Selection》，非常有趣，讲的是苹果的设计方法，以及为什么比起谷歌的做法它会如此成功）。
…interface is terrible. So many things now take 3 taps as opposed to one. I wonder if Tesla made the mistake of using A/B testing instead of vision-driven design like Apple. (Side note, just finished reading "Creative Selection" by Ken Kocienda of Apple, an interesting read on Apple's approach to design and why it is so successful as opposed to Google's).
如果你喜欢这种幕后揭秘，我强烈推荐 Ken Kocienda 的书《Creative Selection》，讲的是初代 iPhone 部分功能的开发过程。
If you like this kind of behind the scenes, i highly recommend Ken Kocienda's book "Creative Selection" about the development of some parts of the first iPhone.
读了初代 iPhone 软件工程师写的《Creative Selection》[1]，书中描述了软件键盘的开发过程，这更加坚定了我的信念：可运行的 demo 远比 wireframes 更重要。很多让某些 UI 优于其他 UI 的关键因素……

Chromium 内嵌了 Blink 浏览器引擎，它是 WebKit 的一个 fork，而 WebKit 又是 KHTML 的一个 fork。你可以读读 Ken Kocienda 的《Creative Selection》，了解他们当年为什么选择 KHTML 而不是 Gecko 的内幕。你也可以 Google 搜一下 Don Melton 参加过的播客节目。
Chromium embeds the Blink browser engine which is a fork of WebKit which is a fork of KHTML. You can read Creative Selection by Ken Kocienda to get the backstory on why they chose KHTML over Gecko. You can also Google for podcasts that Don Melton has been on.

我上周在读 Ken Kocienda 的《Creative Selection》。深入讲述了他在 iPhone 开发早期设计键盘的幕后故事（很不错的一本书）。不管怎样，他提到有一个专门的仇恨/脏话词典，目的就是……
I was reading “Creative Selection” by Ken Kocienda last week. Goes behind the scenes of him designing the iPhone keyboard early in its development (good read) In any case he mentioned there is a hate word dictionary specifically so that…
