So last week we got a call from a good friend at Facebook in Tel Aviv, and she told us that Jon Lax was in town and available immediately for an interview. Naturally, we dropped everything and hauled ass to Facebook HQ to speak to him. The conversation that ensued was easily one of the best we've ever had. We usually take about 3 or 4 weeks to edit and publish a podcast episode after recording it, but Sagi and I were both so excited about this one that it shot up to the top of our priority list. Jon went into tons of details that we'd never heard before about the beginnings of Teehan + Lax, and he told the story of how they started doing those free UI kits that we all downloaded and loved. One of the best parts of the episode is when he shared the 3 questions that he asks every designer at Facebook. He works with designers, but those are basically the 3 most important questions for ANYONE developing a product to answer. I hope you enjoy listening to this conversation as much as we did having it.
