>a guy that made a good living ... never a good idea

Arguably the term for a bad idea that works is "good idea"

[digging]

Or maybe "good" and "bad" aren't useful descriptors in this context.

There are plumbers who make a living but whose work results in leaks in people's homes. They're making a living, but I don't consider the way they work "a good idea".

[frumper]

That's fair. From a personal perspective it was a good idea. He regularly had sites get compromised though, so for his customers it wasn't always a good product. He generally kept his customers happy though.
