This demonstrates the general move in the marketplace from companies developing software, to instead hacking out quick product for fast money.
The startup mentality has made this worse, and continues to do so.
Good software requires thought and time to get right. Unfortunately, those people buying software are often willing to pay for low-quality hacks these days, in the name of a quick fix.
It's just another commodity now, and as such, like many other products, more about cost than quality.

I can attest that there never were "good ole days" of software development. There never was "take all the time you want, do it right". There were always schedules, commitments, and budgets.
