Of course, i can't blame people doing this. Sometimes we need results fast. And when things done & working, we need something else to do (fast as well) :)
hmm... I wonder about the long-term effects of this approach though. This instant-gratification-code is what a friend of mine usually left around for me to take care of and clean up and it tends to mutate into dangerous beasts when left unattended for a while.
One could describe the coding style of much of Morphic and all of Etoys as "programming as if there would be no tommorow" ;-)
such programming style can be titled as well as: 'doing the job, we're paid for, but not a bit more'. :)
