One of Silicon Valley's most infamous recent startups is shutting down:
Juicero, the company that made its name by creating a proprietary juice-squeezing machine, is shutting down. The announcement comes from Juicero's website. In its post, the company writes that it is suspending the sale of both its juice packets and its Juicero Press device. The last juice packet delivery will occur next week. All customers have up to 90 days to request a refund for their purchase of the Juicero Press, regardless of when they bought it. Fortune reports that employees are being given 60 days notice.

Eh, I'm still partial to what my buddy, a civil engineer, uses. Too complex == "over-engineered" as in it is unnecessarily over the required specifications in some regard. Good design == "well-engineered" as in the product is engineered to hit the necessary specifications. Failing design == "under-engineered" as it doesn't meet necessary specifications. In that regard, it isn't the engineering effort that is over, under or just right, but rather the specification that is over, under or just right. This also aligns with colloquial use, making outside communication easier.
