I was nodding my head about “A good rule of thumb is: if a problem seems simple to you, you probably don’t fully understand it.” as I have been leading a redesign of a previous designer’s work. Coworkers keep saying, well So-and-so isn’t here anymore and stop referencing him.

But to me, I am giving credit to the previous designer as having made decisions for a reason, that I may not fully understand, and without that knowledge, it’s all too easy to just say, ack, why did he do X, Y or Z and burn it down. And the realize, oops, THAT’S why he did it!
