Would you be able to spot the mistake in a system that complex?
- mtnGoat 7y agoshouldnt something be tracking the BOM and thus calculating the weight of everything being added in. It seems like catching this could even be automated.
- astrodust 7y agoWhat it something was omitted from the spreadsheet by accident? That's how these mistakes happen.
- ChrisMarshallNY 7y agoNo, but then, it’s not my job. People who get paid for stuff like this, catch these kinds of errors all the time.
- btrettel 7y agoWhat are the jobs you have in mind? Software testers? Academic peer review rarely catches these sorts of errors and those peer reviewers aren't paid.
- ChrisMarshallNY 7y agoThe company I worked for had a fairly strict policy for that kind of thing. Design Review was an integral part of their engineering culture. Involved lots of heavy-duty folks, going over your design with a fine-toothed comb. A junior engineer would present the design from their team, and everyone would take turns picking up brickbats and having at it. Not for the faint of heart.
