I’ve always suspected that Jakob Nielsen was a bit of a twit. A vociferous, well-intentioned twit, but a twit nonetheless. I’ve had a distinctly unflattering view of his snooty, pseudo-guru attitude, but I’ve let my predeterminations slide because every once in a while he manifests a truly wonderful piece of obvious common sense. However, after reading the following quote from this article over at Wired News, my hackles are up once again.
“In the future, first of all, websites will be designed by my guidelines … for the simple reason that if they don’t, they are dead.”
Oh my. How can someone possibly continue to stand upright when they’re so full of themselves? And why would anyone with even a particulate amount of hands-on web design experience take you seriously after hearing this quote? Sorry Jakob, but there is no other way to put this. You are simply an idiot.
