Value of beauty

Beauty is the most important thing to strive for in everything that you create.

Beauty is not only what is visible from the outside. This is not just a shell of a specific functionality that you are working on. Beauty exists on every level. Creation is only the totality of its parts, and if a certain number of these parts are inferior in quality, then the whole thing can never be truly beautiful.

Beauty is a consistently formatted code. Discussion of the name of the internal tools. Development of intuitive interfaces. Organize your layers in Photoshop. Work on the formulation of thoughts in the article. Align all the screws on the back of the fence.

Nothing can be too small or insignificant so as not to be done beautifully.

When you are a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you are not going to use a piece of plywood for the back, even though it will be pressed against the wall and no one will ever see it. You will know what it is and therefore use a beautiful panel of wood. In order to sleep well at night, you must in every respect take care of aesthetics and quality.

Beauty begets quality, and every step on the path should be taken into account. By investing time and achieving the best results from the very beginning, you help yourself and others to improve your project and interact with it. Carefully formatted code will make sense even years later. Organized layers in Photoshop will allow others to easily understand the structure of your layout.

Line code here. A pixel or two there. It may seem that painstaking work on all such moments will slow you down, but with practice it will become habitual. If you have a tight deadline, then you may have to miss something. But the goal is to stop treating these little details as a trifle and see in them the natural part of the process.

Do not create yourself problems. One part will be difficult to fix when you have already moved to another. Fight for beauty from the start.
