Are you designing for people or the system shaping them? (Q&A)

Random aside: please tell me you have this saved somewhere on your computer and that you use it whenever you get the chance :rofl: @nikhil_mahen (iRobot is one of my all-time favorites)

Question: what do you think about designers who find themselves unable to think systematically (or they simply don’t want to)? Are they at a huge disadvantage? Or does it make sense to lean into one area turning them into a design specialization?
