Grr I've seen many posts like this recently jumping on the slightest stuff - at the risk of being down-voted, what the hell people? I expected better, pretending like we can just hack together pieces of crap and pretend like it doesn't matter is exactly how we end up with 99% of software out there sucking and the few who bother trying for more cleaning up, in fact that's how google won out in the first place.

The quality of software is not unrelated to how its implemented. The quality of software is defined by how it's implemented.

The user might not care about the details of how you got there but they sure do care about the quality of the software itself only they don't see it in terms of the underlying details, only what the product does for them and how it does it.

Now can we stop denigrating our craft, please.
