DebilFirst — A Doctrine of Designing for Understanding
An open draft manifesto argues that systems should become clearer without making people easier to control.
Field notes
Manifesto 0.1 is structured as a bounded working doctrine: its core is intended to contain no more than nine propositions, each usable as a test against a real system. The contribution form separates challenges, rewrites, counterexamples, harm reports, and practical applications, and allows an optional name or pseudonym. The page says submissions are moderated rather than published automatically; discussion threads and attributed responses are described as a planned sign-in feature.
