Nov 22, 2011 at 3:38 comment added Mike Dunlavey @whatsisname: Thanks for that insight. I do try to make the "path of least resistance" what people are most likely to want. Can't always do it, though.
Nov 22, 2011 at 1:02 comment added whatsisname One thing to consider about the minimization of clicks and keystrokes is the cost of each click when thinking. People will typically prefer making several clicks that are nearly mindless than one that takes some consideration. Obviously, fewer mindless clicks are better than several mindless clicks though. This principle is discussed a bit in Don't Make me think.

Nov 21, 2011 at 23:03 comment added Mike Dunlavey @Cape: Yeah, I got cut off at the knees there - something about neologism. Whatever. The SO tag "differential execution" has me expounding on it, and I put an implementation on sourceforge. Also there are the publications, the recent one of which I'll be happy to send, if you need some eye-glazing. Maybe more to the point might be an auction app I did a couple years ago, that I could zip to you. It's in VC6 (MFC) but not big and works just fine.
