Taste and Aesthetics A Conversation with Ken Arnold, Part II, a very interesting interview of Ken Arnolds by Bill Venners where Arnold argues for the need for arrogance in software design, when backed by a strong sense of taste:
To achieve simplicity, you sometimes have to say, "You think you want this, but you're not quite right." That is arrogance, the arrogance of taste
I could not agree more, even if I have a hard time applying it to myself, being to uncertain about my sense of taste :-)
