This reminds me of Macintosh computers from the late '80s/early '90s. The disk drive had no physical eject button and the power button for the computer was a big knob sticking out right below the disk drive. Coming from the PC world, it took me a couple of days to learn to stop turning off the computer every time I tried to eject the disk.

did they change careers after that? I would want to work on a farm and touch grass every day with my new friends, the animals.

Is that the engineers fault? Or is that the people who are supposed to check for usability after the engineer is done designing the functional aspects? Because it's not usually an engineer's job to do this...

Basic product testing is the foundation of manufacturing, an error like this doesn't get all the way through production and it still be just the engineers fault.

Yes it is the engineers fault, but even then there should have been multiple people that should have caught such an issue along the way.

As an engineer, I agree.

You cannot be a layer of security if your attitude is, "this is someone else's problem".

The swiss cheese model of security is what I go by. Yes, no one is perfect, but that's precisely why every single person needs to actually give a damn. (and why people should be paid enough to care) The more layers of protection from catastrophe, the better.

Giving in because others are involved is literally Bystander Effect-ing your job effectiveness. Only idiots should be OK with, "this is someone else's fault."

No, this is also other peoples' fault, but make no mistake: the engineer is on that list.
