            @housecor UI might be a specific type of problem that is conducive to bottom-up. In problems where you have a holistic view, and a pretty good idea what the solution is going to look like, bottom-up works great. With less defined problems, I usually struggle with bottom-up.

          @housecor Top-down (outside-in) works better for me when I don't know what the solution is going to look like. If I try to tackle from bottom out in that case, I do a lot of churning. Building little pieces, then finding they aren't quite right, and building others.

        @housecor Outside-in, on the other hand, better enables emergent design. I build small pieces as I find I need them, instead of trying to figure out up front what all the little pieces will be.

      @housecor Different tools for different scenarios. And also different strokes for different folks - you're probably stronger at planning a solution ahead of time than I am.

    @housecor Love the Lego analogy, though. I made my daughters build me a Lego version of the Artsy app so I could illustrate the power of breaking things into small, reusable components. (This and the next few slides: 5-things-about-react.stevenhicks.me/#/15)
