Yep, its not the cave gremlin that codes clean and efficiently, using 1/10th of the amount of code lines, that fucks it up. Its the bloated commercial software vendors that break their software every week.

...or it's the gremlin who tries to get by, but only has like 30min a week for his project, since he has a day job and two gremlettes to feed.

See the xz debacle.

The underlying problem is, that there's no monetary value being assigned to good software. As long as it's good enough to sell it and buy insurance, that's fine.
