My notes are long gone, but it looks like Eric took some here: https://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2016/01/25/designing-for-...

And it appears that this is the talk itself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyZq6v3vZqo

It's amazing how dated the talk seems even though it's only 10 years old.

The talk references an insurance website that requires a Java applet for uploading a file. Last time I neede

It also praises Hipmunk for its ease of use. SAP bought hipmunk and shutdown the website in 2020. see https://www.concur.com/en-us/concur-hipmunk-faq

update: reddit had a couple of suggestions for alternatives - https://www.reddit.com/r/Flights/comments/13uqmba/website_wi...

Not sure if there's a comparable or better flight-booking site these days.

The CHOP (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia) website looks more modern/cleaned up.

The Design For Real Life book is available to read for free on the web - see https://dfrlbook.com/
