In humility is the greatest freedom.
As long as you have to defend the imaginary self that you think is important, you lose your peace of heart. As soon as you compare that shadow with the shadows of other people, you lose all joy, because you have begun to trade in unrealities, and there is no joy in things that do not exist.
— Thomas Merton
from "New Seeds of Contemplation"

The #USB Type A connector is undoubtedly the most ingenious engineering design, if the success of this design is to be assessed by how much #frustration one electrical engineer can mete out to billions of humans. But if we are to employ the correct measure—#usability—this design must necessarily rank at the bottom.
As #engineers, we must all exercise a bit of #humility and listen to the #psychologists who are trained in #HumanFactor.
