She wasn't really talking about the technical side of engineering work here. Her examples are about written works (essays), and works of product design.

It all hinges on the word "work". She's not talking about whether an artifact "works", but about an artifact as "a work".

I missed that, sorry. it's hard to follow when it's a bunch of tweets instead of a normal essay with paragraphs.

User experience, and design, ultimately does contain forms of art, so my comment would be different.
