        This isn’t on the employee. If they fire him, it will be a gross act of injustice. That design makes such a mistake essentially a normal accident of that user interface. It had to happen, eventually.

        The design process needs to be dissected. Who hired, designed, tested, greenlighted this? Incredible. We’d flunk an undergrad if they proposed a drop down menu and nothing else as a way to send/test nuclear missile alerts. https://twitter.com/jimyoull/status/952730543577219072 …

        🤣I thought of the very same scene. The follow up was priceless. "What idiot designed this?!" "You did, sir." "Right. ... Wilson, fire somebody. FAST!!"
