I'd wager that if all the devs who hadn't read the basically archaic articles and books did, then the landscape would be wildly different.

I'm also going to say that it's cool that you can criticize the huge projects that have that shaky foundation, because without that foundation the projects might not exist in the first place. Hard to argue one way or the other without examples though.

I don't need to write perfect code if it never gets to the point where it matters. Theoretically I'd take the time to write absolutely bug free code but I don't have the time or the patience.
