You have a low opinion of your mechanic. Operational knowledge is very important and designs that look good at design time sometimes deal poorly with the world. The iPhone 6 and the butterfly keyboard show designs that were not good in actual operation. Mechanics worth their salt know great engine design beyond easy/cheap to repair.
Please don't take this attitude as a developer towards your operations / support staff.
- JKCalhoun 5y agoI agree with your comment/sentiment, but to be a little more nuanced: I can tell you that butterfly keyboards suck but I am not qualified to say how they should have been designed.
- bogwog 5y ago> but I am not qualified to say how they should have been designed. Right to repair isn't about telling companies how they should design their products.
- inb4_cancelled 5y agoIt often sounds like that to me.
- bogwog 5y agoProbably because of comments like the one I responded to, which are spreading misinformation. A good resource is: https://fighttorepair.org https://fighttorepair.org
- judge2020 5y agoMy point is that some people try to and want right to repair to force companies to make their computers more modular in order to make them repairable, when that might stifle innovation.
- JKCalhoun 5y agoThat wasn't my point. I was responding to the notion that a mechanic is qualified to tell the engineer his job. ;-)
