    "Math for dummies" book writers don't argue that mathematicians are stupid/incompetent because they do not spend enough time on the basics. It has also nothing to do with teaching …

    Aren't you agreeing with Casey by saying this is an effort/cultural problem? He also does say that fast software can sell better.

    It doesn't have to come from the free market, FOSS is hardly exempt of awfully slow/unstable software. Nobody figured out yet how to make writing good software the default/path-of-…

    I don't believe this is the root cause, computers got faster, and software got quicker to the state of "run good enough". I'm calling Wirth's law on it. "Clean code" is indeed ofte…
