#2Take this as a lesson. If you've been a dev long enough, you've worked on a project knowing that how the project is being done isn't the best method with every intention of going back to make it better later, but not at the expense of getting the MVP up and running. You'll also have seen that never actually happening and all of those bad decisions from the beginning still living all the way to the bitter end.
I'm guessing not one person involved would have ever imagined their code being left on a machine just left out in the open exposed to the public completely abandoned by the company.

#3I love how the all-caps disgust is reserved for the greatest sin, the overengineering.

One just wonders if the cooperative-multitasking BASIC implemented in this machine really was necessary for an MVP. Other than if that just happened to be the sort of programming that the developer at the time was familiar with.
Also, this really is the 'engineering' discipline with the lowest level of craftsmanship and regard for rigor, isn't it? Because the failures are usually intangible, not directly life-threatening.

#6I just watched a video earlier today about how if you find a working redbox, you can get movies out of it without getting charged, although you still have to enter your payment info. This prospect suddenly sounds even less appealing.

#9I would to see people start engineering instead of overengineering, being scared of such exposure happening to them.
The only thing I can’t disagree more - it’s not the graduates who write ServiceFactoryBuilder where I work at. Those are guys after 12-15 years, started with bad PHP, now being "Senior Java", but they didn’t learn much since beginning. This is how corporate software looks like.
