Anyone see the recent _New Yorker_ article comparing tech IP where

Personality is crucial to electronic design. The difference between
engineering and art is that engineering has to work, and is tested.

The role of personality may in fact be just as important in tech as
the arts; it's just not nearly as obvious in tech. In tech the
personality part is far enough removed or isolated from the final
solution it's untraceable. Even most of those in the field don't
really care or notice how it came about.

electronic design just aren't as visible, or "accessible", to the
public as a Batman movie.
