Time for a brief rant on interface designs. Here we’re talking about two different situations, one device, and and one interface. And, hopefully, we can extract some lessons, because these are just silly design decisions.
First up is our timer. And it’s a good timer, and gets lots of use. Tea, rice, lots of things. And, sometimes, a few things at a time. As you can see, there’re 3 timers. And, as far as I know, we’ve only used at most two at a time. So what’s the problem?
Well, there’re different beeps signaling the end of different timers. And that’s a good thing. Mostly. But there’s one very very silly design decision here. Let me tell you that one has one beep, one has two beeps, and one has three. So, guess which number of beeps goes to which timer? You can see they’re numbered…
