I hope Deku ends up with her in the end.

I absolutely love her lol Her quirk isn't flashy, but she's damn good at what she does. Enthusiasm counts for a lot, too.

I've seen what my coworkers put our equipment through, even if there was an extra inch of steel on everything, they'd still fuck it up.

As a software developer: if your idea is stupid I'm going to tell you why and work together to find a better solution.

Yeah it is. I only use imgur on my phone. Didn't expect this post to go viral tbh

Also if they can't stop the client, the client WILL PAY!

Sound like a Japanese dev. The best engineers stop clients from spending unnecessarily but good deed go un-noticed here and money is money

as a quality engineer, customer demands are no issue, it's getting workers to build the damn thing. that's the problem.

she is my favorite my hero character

She's pretty much the best character tbh, maybe level with.. Awe hell they're all pretty awesome.

The funny thing is that usually the client doesn’t know what he wants. Part of the job is also educating him. My tactic 1/2

It's true. But why, why must we go to such lengths?

Because we are generally self motivated and driven individuals who find inherent value in working hard. Basically were suckers.

There isn't anything wrong with going the distance for clients. Its when they expect it would cost little or nothing, that makes it painful

well then i'll take a bolt action full-auto revolver!
lurkmoarjono
each action operates each cylinder?
GeneralGinger531
Bolt Action and full auto? As a convertible between the two or simultaneous? The first is just eccentric, the second is impossible.
etopsirhc
exactly the point of why i said it.
Cabreza
Doable. Electric rototy system for the cylinder coupled with a few gears to move the bolt and a belt feed system below the assembly.

I want a sub-machine gun as light as an MP5 but as accurate as an M4, chambered in a rifle round and with low recoil.
Cabreza
Polymer frame. Barrel just needs to be match grade and free floated. Length doesn't affect accuracy. Can make it shoot .223 for recoil.
Cabreza
You basically just described a SBR AR
Arnoxthe1
Oooo... Alright then. Final test. A pistol that is easily able to fire both .45 ACP and 9mm. Swapping parts is allowed as long as it's easy.

A good designer should also recognize when a client doesn't know what he wants, and help him take that cloudy nimbus of an idea and bring it
nichoBugCat
This is a skill I am currently trying to improve. Only recently I have started to appreciate its importance.
LupusIgnis
There are methods for this in the User Centered Design paradigm. Also, "Product Design and Development" by Ulrich and Eppinger has a bit.

I am a recent electrical engineer with a focus more on software. I think I can adapt your method using a very small prototype per idea.

Another useful skill is learning to sketch out an idea in an ISO view in the middle of the conversation. It makes writing notes around it 4/

Don't get me wrong, I know in reality the project is probably an assembly of parts, with some sub assemblies still clouded in a gray area.

I still don't have a good answer for that. But if you hold the client by the hand down that path, hopefully you'll both have a much clearer
