I am but a cog in a machine. A lazy one though.

  • Hard agree!

    but please consider not doing safety and security related stuff without properly researching first and probably should not deal with such things if you are uncertain and can’t find anyone with expertise to help you out. Anything from blowing up shit in your own backyard to creating an online application that deals with user data

    Edit: not saying don’t ever do those things, everyone has the right to learn things, but so many fingers have been lost and so much personal data has been leaked due to not stopping for a moment to think in the heat of passion and excitement (or frustration).

    Former mechanical design engineer checking in as well: can confirm, the engineer’s fault here.

    You don’t just design it just to work, a hobbyist can do that.

    Edit: Not saying I have never made a mistake, everyone makes mistakes. And of course in a proper (especially big) design department someone always cross checks your work, so there must’ve been multiple people to blame. But mistakes happen and that alone is no reason to fire someone.

    In my first job a senior told me that you will experience making an expensive mistake and that it’ll be a good lesson (I did).
