Factors like the ground composition, the surrounding landscape, weather, materials, physics, and budget would require your team to adjust their plans. More rounds of adjustments would follow. In the end, the completed structure—the implementation of your collective design—will continue to be informed over time by real-world constraints, requiring repairs and modifications. Eventually that first drawing will seem like a distant memory. The same is true for designing software. But because drawings of digital products are shown on the same surface as the products they represent (and at equal fidelity, if not better), the gap between them can seem much narrower than it really is. All the same constraints and compromises involved in designing a house apply—as does the need for collaboration across disciplines. Now, imagine you’re building not just one product, but many. And instead of dozens of collaborators, there are thousands or even tens of thousands. Without a unifying set of principle

Imagine you’re designing a house. Your first step might be to draw a picture. To turn that picture into a house would require the input of many experts—architects, engineers, and builders—and would involve planning, teamwork, and time with each collaborator. Factors like the ground compositio
