<div>Like Magsafe for example. How many of us here have destroyed laptop motherboards or power supplies from leaning on the power cable that hung out and pressed in deep to the socket? All because of re-using an existing power connector instead of designing their own. Saved a few dollars in build and cost unknown amounts in hardware support. His simple lessons of looking at real world use cases and designing for/around them have changed the way I work and design.</div>
