    > "Whatever the causes may be, the end result is poor engineering. I didn't say incompetent, but rather lazy and lower quality." The engineering might be perfectly fine if you take into account the deadlines, budgets and requirements from the clients/managers. If you pay someone to build a house on a short deadline with a small budget, then you'll obviously get a crappy house. But the skill that went into building that house in such a short time, and on such a low budget, might be extremely high. Good engineering doesn't mean a perfect product. It just means you managed to deliver the best possible one out of the situation you were in. It's up to the owner of the product to decide if it's good enough.
