problem before solution
In the past couple of weeks, I've been working on a page. A very important page that get seen by literally millions of users.
As this project gets close to completion, I try to solve very specific UI problems.
I've tried few different solutions and none has solved those problems. So I asked around since there are many very smart people at Yahoo.
As I tried to get input and advice from my colleagues, i realized a bigger problem: I didn't really know what the problem was.
I kind of know what I wanted to achieve but I couldn't really pinpoint what it is exactly that I need to solve.
That's a very important lesson for me: before trying to find the solution, I need to find the problem.
