Root Cause Is Money (Score 1)

When you work it all the way down, most code issues are about the money. Companies sell code to make money. They want to pay as little as possible to produce it. And make as much as possible from it. Bad coders, ignorant coders, lack of testers, bad testers, ignorant managers, lack of processes -- all of it. Bad coders have jobs because companies only want to pay so little that only bad coders take the money. Ignorant coders of course are paid little. Testers cost money -- so hire as few as possible or have the bad ignorant coders test their own code. Hire/keep potted plants as managers because they are cheap. Take the money and run. Ultimately this is the root cause of it all. And it will never change. This is the way it was 30 years ago. This is the way it is today. This is the way it will be 30 years from now.
