>It's the same for most industries. I constantly see comments from construction workers "Every building I worked on was rushed and absolute crap, I wouldn't be surprised if they collapsed in a year" and yet they almost never do.

Its because they are engineered with a margin of safety and then inspected for obvious issues. But yeah throw them together is the name of the game. Faster = more money.

Take the aftermath of the recent Kahramanmaras earthquake, the status quo should be improved even for well established engineering fields, and more so for the software industry.
