> Quality does not appear to matter, ethics do not appear to matter, sustainability and engineering rigor do not appear to matter

I don't know why people keep saying this, as if quality, ethics and sustainability mattered before and every developer was a pure artisan of their craft. In reality, having been in many companies and looking at their codebases, it has always been slop, with very few exceptions.

Yeah, no kidding. I was alive 20 years ago, this isn't like talking about the 1800s, what exactly was different with the craftsmanship and ethics back then?
