I often see comments about how libre and open source applications are ugly or are poorly designed (from a human interaction perspective).

What would you (or the design team in your company) recommend reading to better address this? I'm looking for anything:

- books about general design concepts to keep in mind when building something (preferably computer software) - best practices in terms of UI/UX - good guidelines from existing projects

Thanks!

So, let say you're a developer, but also a pianist, 3D artist, polyglot, rock climber, writer, video maker, dad/mum. (pick a few)

How do you find the time to develop all of these skills in parallel?

There are too many things I would like to pursue, and I end up sucking at everything!
