This is another good example of why no one will hire Bill. I can just
imagine how short the interview is when they discover what an ass he
is. Not every design is a "Money is no object", or "The customer can
just build a new building if its too damn big" type job.

This is libelllous rubbish. I design around the appropriate
constraints.

If you want to mininmise the parts cost, I can design for minimum parts
cost. If you want minimum power consumption, I can do that. If you want
minimum board space, I can do that too. Designing to minimise parts
cost, board space and power consumption is a little more difficult -
the customer needs to be very specific about the real requirements, and
I'm pretty good at working out what they need from what they say they
want.

If you want a design that final test and service enginers can
understand and fix, I can do that and have been doing it for a long
time. This is the constraint that is most often important in designing
high value systems that are only going to sell a few tens of units a
year though very few people seem to be aware of it..

John Fields doesn't seem to understand that good design is about
providing what the specific customer needs, and you don't seem to be
much wiser.
