I don't think lawyer fees imply anything about the code quality. See: HealthCare.gov fiasco.

  I think OP meant that bootstrapped code, written as quickly as the developer feels like writing it on a weekend, has its own flaws as well.

    Though an app showing a randomized arrow veers closely into, well, not Hello World, but an intro example for developing a mobile app. There's not going to be a lot of code to spaghetti-ize.

      In Enterprise software? You'd be surprised...

  It implies that you know who to sue if code quality isn't up to scratch. This is important to large organizations for some reason. Even though it may be cheaper to just do it 10 times over with cheap one person shops and throw out the worst 9.

    And who was sued in the case of the Healthcare.gov debacle? I get the feeling this "knowing who to sue" saying is a bit of a myth.

      I suspect that the myth is that anyone will follow through on it. The ass covering is probably real.
