I freelance supporting legacy software. I wrote that already. There’s no culture in my company, just me.
There’s a difference between an explanation and an excuse, and between counterexamples and “hand waving.” I’m sure it makes you feel superior to dismiss opinions and comments with vague references to logical fallacies or indefensible arguments, but just hauling out big words doesn’t make you right, or even make any sense.
I can’t fix everything wrong with software development. I’ve been doing it for 40 years and we just keep making the same mistakes. My small contribution is fixing broken code one customer at a time, at least leaving the campsite cleaner than I found it. I don’t lose a lot of sleep over our collective failure to write perfect software.
