He did - "the design of everyday things" is a book that has been around for decades and is still the best introduction to these. The book doesn't cover computers at all.

Though I warn you, I read it 30 years ago and I still cannot enter a kitchen without cursing how bad the stove is.

From reading the original comment, it is not apparent that "the design of everyday things" refers to a book with that title. When I read the comment the first time, I didn't understand it.

Communicating through writing is hard. Just as designing something that can be easily understood is hard.

If you don't know the book it wasn't clear. Anyone who knows the book would catch the reference.
