Another VC funded outfit I chatted with also boast of TC. This is, I agree with you, software engineering 101. But that's probably it: don't know about you, but I could not stomach making a pitch for funding for the latest hype [1] knowing that the fundamentals are unsound. I am hoping that the recent events -- Theranos, out-smarted contracts, etc. -- will permit a return to maturity in this field. Money has poisoned this field.
