Copy behaviors not frameworks

“Learning from what other people have learned is helpful, but equally important is learning from how they learned. People often copy frameworks and techniques instead of the behaviors and interactions that were the catalyst for how those frameworks and techniques emerged.” – John Cutler

It is a good practice every time you use or refer to an existing model, framework, or tool for the first time (or the 100th), take 5 minutes to look up its origin story. Yes, even and especially if it is very very common. – Erika Hall
