The biggest problem I have with engineering is they concentrate on how
small they can make something and still have it work.
You end up with things that are barely adequate and any little change
or slight miscalculation results in failure

You only have to look at an old Western Electric phone and compare it
to anything you can buy today.
WE phones will still be working after the apocalypse.



Design goals are not dictated by engineers.
