Stupid Safe
May 23, 2010
I was talking to an engineer friend the other day, and she mentioned
that her engineer husband is familiar with the old saw, "Nothing is
foolproof because fools are so ingenious." So, he doesn't try
to make his hardware/software foolproof; he tries to make it "stupid
safe."
I love that phrase! Can we pass it around until it becomes
viral, so that in six months or a year everyone who makes hardware or
software or ladders or power drills talks about "stupid safing" their
product? Let's go!
