"Complaining about budgets to fix these issues is like saying that the problems with collapsing bridges is that we don't spend enough fixing the structure. Well, it should have been built properly in the first place." I'd like to think that engineers do want to build things properly, however to build something properly it usually involves more resources. The problem is when it comes down to brass tax the low bidder wins. I've worked in many big companies over many years, and yes I've hacked things together MANY times because of budget/time constraints. A lot of it was because of Management wanting to come under budget, or because they wanted to rush the product to be a hero. I don't get where this idea comes from that engineers just want to do things in the worst way, do you think a doctor wants to kill his patients or do something that would endanger the patient if they didn't have to?
