Article note: Holistic system design is an anathema in the current culture of computing.
It doesn't work with proprietary/closed systems.
It requires a breadth of knowledge that is ...rare and difficult to cultivate... that requires a respect for expertise that our culture doesn't really have.
It's _hard_ and _detail oriented_ in a way that the culture around computing has decided isn't worth it.
It's also _almost certainly the right thing to do._
