It looks like these things don't matter anymore for a lot of companies or at least they are not valued. Creating something that works somewhat in the smallest amount of time possible to get the customer to pay and that management can check the crosses in the excel sheet.

The Java app at my current company does 23k database queries uncached for a directory listing with 100 files in a folder. There are two devs at work there for years, nobody bothered to look up the rather well documented api docs that just use a single query for that task from the upstream software we use.

Personally I'm frustrated and I'm looking to learning more CS to get a job that values quality over quantity.
