Building (Web) Applications in 2009
Thinking about it for the whole evening: the most common and most important metaphors learned by all of us on an OS desktop suck big time in 2009 and only work in a non-connected and low-information world.
Folders? Can you organize your data in specific folders? I can’t. Piles of Windows? I don’t need them, switching confuses me and helps me unfocus. Asynchronous or timed behavior? Ever seen anything that handles that well? I don’t.
I need to think more about that.

I want tags in the filesystem! Folders are good for some basic hierarchy, though.

Perhaps we have to wait for Google to open our eyes?
