Unfortunately we have to live with your shortcuts, not you. Your analogy is
very good. The NTSB doesn’t allow cars to be produced that blow up once a
month just so they can go 1 MPH faster. Just talk to Firestone about having
1 tire in over 1 million blow out and what is/isn’t allowed. It’s also
annoying when developers blame the OS for their own shortcomings. It’s
easier to throw up your hands and hack around the OS than to do things the
right way. It then becomes a pissing contest between the various
hardware/motherboard/BIOS vendors when things don’t work.
Software developers want to be held in the same esteem as engineers. Until
software developers become as disciplined and mature as the true engineers
they don’t deserve that category. It’s the poor craftsman that always
blames his tools rather than learning how to use them properly. On the same
token, it’s the poor software developer that always blames the OS.
