宅男逆袭成功: 28岁的应用设计教父

Mr. Brichter 'has this ability to put himself in the shoes of a five-year-old who tells you in an elaborate language what he's having a hard time doing,' says Mr. Leca, who now works at Google.

目前就职于谷歌的勒卡说：“布里切特具备这样的能力，能够以一个五岁小孩的角度，用详尽的语言告诉你他觉得哪些地方不好用。”

Mr. Brichter's reputation is growing as simplicity and design become more important in the highly competitive apps business. Influencers like Mr. Brichter--as well as former Apple designers Mike Matas, who is now at Facebook, and Bret Victor--thus draw big followings.

随着简约和设计在竞争异常激烈的应用程序行业变得愈加重要，布里切特的名声也与日俱增。像布里切特这样的有影响力的人物──还有前苹果公司的设计师、现在就职于脸谱公司的迈克•马塔斯(Mike Matas)以及布雷特•维克托(Bret Victor)──吸引了大批的跟风者。

But he says there are ways to build this feature using open-source software, and he has long given anyone permission to use it 'as long as they aren't a d---.' Twitter lets the inventors of its patents veto using them in offensive lawsuits.
