Get the teenage engineering tp-7mug. A person, often who does not hold an engineering degree or does, but has no actual experience with real engineering and ended up in a different technical field. This person can often be found on facebook or other social media platforms criticizing engineers for apparent problems with consumer or other products that they believe could be better. This person is quick to point out obvious faults because they believe engineering is simply envisioning a perfect product, and that makes it happen. They have no understanding/experience with the cost, management, cross-functional team collaboration, qualification requirements, documentation requirements, problems of similar parts, legal regulations, interchangeability with other parts or assemblies, material properties and compatibility, corrosion resistance, lead times of parts and material, production costs, service restrictions and costs, low rate of failures pertaining to the one they unfortunately experienced, or many other constraints that limit the "perfect solution" that they envision.
Armchair engineer: "Its 2024, surely engineers could design a car that never rusts or corrodes, they just want you to pay for repairs and replacements to ensure they maintain profits". Engineer:" Sure, there are materials available to prevent corrosion for a longer time if you want to pay 6-8 figures for your vehicle that gets you A to B and costs 5-7 figures to repair and still requires yearly maintenance to avoid that condition. No rust or other corrosion on cars for the life of the car is a great idea though, not sure why us engineers didnt think of that, where did you get your armchair engineering degree? We should probably go back to your school."

Get the Cool Your Enginemug. The premise that 1) Anything can be fixed by hitting it with a hammer, and 2) If you cannot fix the problem, you do not have a big enough hammer.

"It's The First Law of Engineering, Leonidas,” Granadica sent. “If you can’t fix it, you’re not using a big enough hammer.”
