“The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas.”
-Linus Pauling
Simulated annealing - for example this technique is used to reduce the amount of defects in the material (metal). Atoms begin to move while the metal is annealed. Afterwards the metal is cooled down slowly. This way it is more likely that atoms find a place more suitable for them.
Go broad with different ideas and solutions -- have a lot of different prototypes. Afterwards during the design process you can focus more on the best prototypes. Have different designs - because of the statistics you will end up then with a better design.
What is the cost of making changes over time?
In the web you dont have actual costs like money but you still have to ask yourself some questions before making any changes:
- Are my users already used to the design right now?
- Will I loose customers after an update?
- Have they built stuff on top of my software?
