As somebody in design, the end user is not given as much thought as they should, and a lot of times it’s not the engineers fault it’s somebody else not approving the time needed or lack of testing. Basically when you want to blame an engineer for something being difficult to get to or fix, I did my best to not have that happen!!

Thanks for sharing
