Software Engineering?
Tahoe 26 – Is it me?
When I right click to eject my media drive – apple gives me the option to erase the drive – RIGHT BELOW eject. Now I can read and click the buttons etc. but I have clicked “erase” twice this week. Is this supposed to be good software engineering? Happy editing everyone

Not exactly sure what your issue is?
If you are referring to UI/UIX (user interface), then I agree, a good UI will NOT put very destructive functionality next to non-destructive functionality that is commonly used. Destructive UI elements should be separated so that a simple twitch of the mouse doesn’t wipe out all your data.
Unfortunately Apple’s UI’s are getting worse and worse over time (even more so on iOS devices) with zero intelligent visual guides to perform basic tasks … guess the interface … which can lead to disaster. It seems good UI/UIX resources are being cut out of larger companies resulting in really poor end user software experiences.

Yes Rob I am referring to the bad interface

There are many options out there when you right-click an external drive, as there are when you right-click any folder or file. Showing you many options you can choose.
At least it doesn’t automatically start erasing your disk, opening a new window. I prefer to use ”Command-E” to eject my drives, much safer.
