#DesignForManufacturring

A curse upon product designers who use "one-way" clips in the casings of their products. Sure, it's a cheap way to manufacture and assemble the unit, but it makes repair people miserable.

Of course, they don't *want* people repairing the product. "Throw it away and buy a new one!"

I have just decided that this is called "YOLO engineering", and it is bad, and anyone that does it should feel bad.
