Unfortunately in the enterprise space, competent software isn't necessarily a requirement.

  That is changing, albeit slowly.

    Not really. I doubt it will ever change. Why do you say it's changing? All the same BigCorp programmers I know remain employed...

      The Java and .NET ecosystems seem to preach a better/agile way to develop software: Continuous Integration, unit-tests, keep it simple, etc. Sure, some of the code are still crappy, but at least they are less crappy than yesterday. Are all of BigCorp programmers doing this? No. Will they? maybe, especially with the newer/younger generations. Mobile and tables are making in-road to enterprise. Enterprise slowly decided to give cloud (SaaS, not the other *aas) a chance because they don't like to have in-house IT departments (whether this is good or bad I don't know). When you see BestBuy using Google AppEngine even for their simple app, I think that's a sign of change. Is it going to get better all across the board? probably no. But they're changing nonetheless.
