"certain kind" of discipline, indeed... not the good kind. and while your comment goes to great pains to highlight how that particular God is dead (and i agree, for the record), the God of Quality (the one that Pirsig goes to great lengths to not really define) toward which the engineer's heart of heart prays that lives within us all is... unimpressed, to say the least.

They aren't able to repair it at the moment (or rather don't want/can't allocate the time for it) and instead trade their ressource usage for stability and technical debt.
