> I've never seen a product fail because of poor engineering practices. I've seen plenty of things fail due to extremely high costs to develop basic features with few enough bugs to satisfy customers. That is mostly the result of bad engineering practices, like choosing C++ instead of PHP for your web servers, or just plainly having bad engineers who don't know how to build a big project.
