"People hate—as they should—being asked for the same piece of information more than once...it ends up being easy to miss your form’s redundancy when you’re not the one filling it out."

"The form is never just paperwork. It's a stand-in for a conversation you're not in the room for. Every unclear question, every missing instruction, doesn't just disappear, it gets pushed onto the person filling it out."
