I can’t get enough of CRUD, it’s like a reliable friend!

“Create, Read, Update and Delete. These are the essential actions you can take on any data element within a system.” – as Elisabeth Hendrickson shares in her excellent book Explore It!.

Create CRUD combo power-ups with other heuristics! For example:

  • Combine “Never and Always” with “Delete” and “Update”: I should never be able to delete someone else’s embarrassing photo of me but I can always update the tag so others can’t see it!

  • Combine “Goldilocks” with “Read”: Those too big, too small and just right embarrassing photos should render with the same dimensions on my mobile device.

  • Combine “Interrupt” with “Create”: Kill your connection to the interweb before those embarrassing photos automatically make it online!
