That’s what happens when designers boss engineers around. Form over function is pure cancer and it’s becoming pervasive in our civilization due to the overwhelming ubiquity of propaganda(marketing). I have nothing but contempt for these trends.

Good function will usually result into nice form anyways. Like old thinkpads for example.

Enjoy this wonderful Posy video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjKjZwd_KY0

“Designers boss engineers”.

That’s what happens when people who know nothing about the industry post their word soup as fact.

Alright Elon, we know nobody tops your knowledge of manufacturing around the world. Apple has the best design team in the world, they have brought us genius inventions like on off buttons under desktop computers or charging USB-C ports under a mouse. I bow to the obvious error of my ways and sheepishly retract myself from this conversation.

This isn’t Reddit.

sheepishly retract myself from this conversation.

You could’ve done this without announcing it and the additional word soup.
