So it's come to this: a Proof of Concept clip show

Issue 65: A look back at some of my favorite things to write

Nov 7

If you’re an early reader of Proof of Concept, you’ll know I’m a huge Simpsons fan. In Season 4, there was an episode called “So it’s come to this: a Simpsons clip show.” This episode started with some original content of a prank Bart played on Homer resulting in him being put in a coma. From there, the family looked back at moments that resulted in replays of clips in past episodes. The staff was overworked and the intention of this is to provide relief.

I have a few things that need my deep attention and wanted to use this as a way to deliver something of value to you while giving myself some more time. Lenny Rachitsky’s The Best of Lenny’s Newsletter also inspired this. Here’s a look back at some of the newsletters I enjoyed writing. Without further ado, here’s your clip show.

Those were a few in the past 63 issues! If there is one you enjoyed specifically, please share and let me know! Writing Proof of Concept has been so therapeutic for me to have a space to share and express with a community of readers like you.

Chris Harrington annotates a great critique of an older version of iTunes on some of the elements that make great UI Design (this can be an issue in itself). Look at that brushed metal!
