I can’t think of a good reason not to spec. Can you?
Its important to plan ahead, but specs are artifacts which can easily
diverge from reality as code gets written. Agile processes eschew
specs, instead favoring the following:
- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
- Working
I'm a fan of SxSW. Heading back for my third year, and its always been

you just use whatever's most suited to a given task. Icon view is useful
My company (marketpublique.com) is founded by three designers. Advantages:
we get the web, we get design, and we can handle some of the development
