A broad design principle recommends learning from everything, not only case studies, products, or high-paid experts focused on metrics. Lessons arise from art, fiction, aviation, and unexpected fields such as paleontology. Pausing sensational, anxiety-inducing media consumption and engaging with subjects that calm and expand perspective, like dinosaurs, can be beneficial. Museum exhibits reveal reconstruction choices: full-scale models, not just skeletons, demonstrate color, musculature, posture, and locomotion. Specific specimens such as Silesaurus and Polonosuchus illustrate evolutionary context; many early archosaurs preceded true dinosaurs. Accurate reconstructions and recognition of theropod posture required centuries of accumulated research.
"There's a principle I follow in user experience and design: learn from everything. Not just case studies or products, and not only from someone with a big brain and more zeros in their salary talking about increasing a metric. Lessons can be drawn from art, from fiction, from aviation - the sources are limitless. And today, a lesson from dinosaurs. Yep. While the world is going crazy doomscrolling through the Epstein files, I think we all need to chill and read about dinosaurs."
"Dinosaurs are designed How do we know what dinosaurs looked like? About a month ago, I visited the Museum of Evolution in Warsaw. It's full of dinosaurs - not just bones or display cases with skeletons, but full-scale models too. Like this: Silesaurus (the small guy) and Polonosuchus (the big guy creeping). BTW these are not dinos, they are archosaurs - reptiles that came before actual dinosaurs. Photo from Wikipedia Color and muscles, and the fact that they could stand upright and walk on their"
