    We have an almost total lack of real discipline and responsibility in software engineering.

    “Good enough” is the current gold standard, so you get what we have.

    If we were more serious there wouldn’t be 100 various different languages to choose from, just a handful based on the requirements and those would become truly time worn, tested and reliable.
