That title seems to describe most software projects of software engineering projects coming from academia. I have to take care for the infrastructure for those and honestly the closer to the core of the field _that should be able to build robust software_ the shittier it gets. Other institutions might fail on the repeatability front (ad hoc installs), but a least the don't start with a K8s install inside a measly VM. Nowadays the amount of paper mills educating complete morons seem to increase.
