Some products last 50 years. Most fail in 5. The difference is rarely quality of materials. It's these 5 design principles: 1. REPAIRABILITY Products designed to be repaired last longer than those designed to be replaced. The original Land Rover Defender, 1948 design, still in production variants today. Every component was accessible with standard tools. Compare to modern vehicles where the battery replacement requires dealer equipment. 2. OVER-SPEC AT THE START Design to a higher standard than your worst expected case. The AK-47 was designed to function at ±60°C, covered in sand, submerged in water. It has a reported MTBF (mean time between failures) of 15,000 rounds. Over-engineering for the extreme case creates reliability in the normal case. 3. STANDARD FASTENERS Products that use proprietary screws become unrepairable when the company stops making them. Products that use M4 bolts are repairable forever. 4. CLEAR FAILURE HIERARCHY Design so the cheap part fails first. A fuse blows. A shear pin breaks. A gasket leaks. These are intentional weak points, engineered to sacrifice themselves before the expensive components fail. 5. THERMAL MANAGEMENT More products fail from heat than from any other cause. Electronics, motors, engines, batteries, all degrade faster when hot. The products that last build heat dissipation in from the start, not as an afterthought. Design for longevity at the start. Retrofitting it later always costs more.

Here's a useful info for you guys: one 18 inch pizza has more 'pizza' than two 12 inch pizzas. Area of two 12" pizzas: 12/2 = 6 6×6=36 36xπ = 113.1 in² x 2 = 226.2 in² Area of one 18" pizza: 18/2=9 9×9=81 81xπ = 254.5 in²
