> I stole an idea from Joel Spolskey and made beta features in the app have graphics that were literally drawn in crayon

As a programmer I refuse to waste any cycles on “slightly better than shit programmer art”.

Nope. Colors are magenta, font is Arial, and 3D models are all teapots. It serves two purposes. It signals this is genuinely temp and forces artist/designers to update it.

The danger of making it better is it’s good enough for mocks, shouldn’t ship, but ships because no one took the time to update.
