> why software built in-house is often just as bad, or worse In my experience this is largely due to PoC (or otherwise “temporary”) tools getting used long-term without refactoring, and growing further PoC features over time that compound the problem. This also affects production services, if management let (or demand!) PoC code gets released before it is really ready.
