People over Systems

A frequent topic of conversation for my friends involve how well things are designed, and what kind of struggles we've had in the world of commerce. Lately I've found Seth Goldin's blog interesting reading on design and interface, particularly this musing on System's vs. People.

Unspoken, but implied in this piece that great people, who often make good systems, probably undervalue themselves and their judgement. Instead they credit the systems they've implemented.
