A japanese term for mistake proofing, or colloquially referred to as idiot proof.

An example is the sim card in your phone, it has the cut corner so you can only put it in one way.

It’s a newfound obsession of mine, ensuring that the product we build works the right way. It’s good for users as builds confidence and helps them create success and it’s good for us as we build better product.
