Anyone designing a device should be forced to sleep in the same room with it. I’d also support a blanket ban on LEDs and long prison sentences for anyone who makes one blink.

This message brought to you by me, the guy who just spent half an hour duck taping over every LED in this room.

Does your device need an LED?

No.

Does your device need a blinking LED?

Fuck no.

(Please feel free to print this out and post it in product design departments everywhere.)

@aral does your LASER need to be shielded so it doesn’t shine into people’s eyes and damage them in the long term causing or worsening vision impairment and cataracts? Yes, but it hasn’t stopped supermarkets from installing lasers without protections.
