summary
Compares filmmaking history to UX and makes concrete prescriptions: UX has a 2008 inflection like film’s 1994, feature output jumps from 715 (1985) to 50,000 feature films (2014) as a warning about scale and quality. Recommends being two to three sprints ahead, inserting an interstitial dev sprint every third cycle for bug fixes, and mapping roles (director=context owner, editor=usability lead, IA=content architect). Argues for short proof-of-concept projects and consistent core teams.
