From my experience the problem isn't the existence of bugs (like the existence of gravity), but the widespread occurrence of the cowboy programmer with very limited attention span. Often there are tons of TODO comments left in the code (including TODO comment this class), unit tests are non-existent, a simple smoke test will cause a null pointer exception or not even deploy, or they committed schema migration SQL scripts but did not change the entities/data objects corresponding to those tables so the - now mandatory - new columns cannot even be FILLED by the app. Stuff like that, that isn't DONE, it's deserving a punch in the face. OTOH, it may be symptomatic of our don't-blame culture that the consulting firm in question isn't fired on the spot or the much needed punch in the face isn't delivered. Those are days I wish we had US-American at-will employment and hire/fire culture.
