Design is more important than many of us realize. Apple under Steve Jobs 1.0 made machines which were hit (Macintosh) or miss (Lisa). What he couldn't do at Apple, he did at NeXT, and those Unix computers are legendary to this day. During the time Apple was between Jobs 1.0 and Jobs 2.0, it's products were functional but clunky (Newton). Under Steve Jobs 2.0, nearly all of Apple's physical products became paragons of both design and functionality. Design is crucial.

This is an important reminder that we need the right tools to solve whatever problem we face. There are many ways to solve a problem, and many of those will solve it. However, we have to keep in mind the problem we want to solve. Even Dogecoin solved a few problems (including its switch from PoW to Auxiliary PoW after the hack that nearly killed it just weeks after it was officially launched).
