It feels pretty disingenuous to write off all real world design as trivial or impossible to make an impression. For instance, aluminum cans are a great example of quality design

I'll rephrase it - programming is the only field I know deeply enough to be deeply impressed by the accomplishments I'm seeing.

I'm sure I interact with well designed entities all the time, without even knowing it. One of the properties of really good design, imho, is that it's not meant to be easy to notice.
