    This doesn't directly relate to Pearnote, but as a developer, I'm a little curious on your opinion of skeuomorphism (making a app look like a real thing its supposed to imitate)?

    Skeumorphism is a tool that developers can use to shorten a learning curve of an app by relating it to something else the user already knows how to use. It can be very effective in that. It can also have the side effect of preventing the app from being as useful as it could be by limiting it to the constraints of the real world. And, it can also be just superfluous eye candy that doesn't help the use of the app at all.

    So, I see skeumorphism as neither good nor bad inherently. It's all in how it's used. That said, I tend to shy away from skeumorphism myself. I generally prefer to remove the constraints of the physical world when designing software, and I accept the trade-off of a potentially steeper learning curve.

    Because it confines the user to a metaphor that has nothing to do with the issue being resolved. By connecting the notions to things the user is familiar with, wordle it doesn't help to explain the concepts. It merely adds another layer of mental chaos.

    Skeuomorphism has been a popular tunnel rush design trend for many years, and it has been used in various products, from software interfaces to consumer electronics.

Most of this is concerned with advice to buy-side and sell-side companies on their merger or acquisition, but executive coaching services also conduct market research and help firms to raise capital for M&A
