This greatly oversimplifies a complex system that relies heavily on the honesty and behavior of thousands and thousands of humans. The fact that Hillary Clinton "lost" or even that the data was bad has very little to do with the quality of the application that was developed. Even if the wrong thing was built, it can still be built well. I'm not a developer at all, but even I recognize that the world is full of crappy products that no one needs or that dont actually solve a problem but nonetheless were engineered and built exactly as the original scope dictated. Doing good work doesnt always mean that the work is any good.
