Uh... no. Quick hacks happen from time to time to keep things running.
Layers upon layers of quick hacks that are never cleaned up (see
picture) happen through incompetence. If not on the part of the techs
then on the part of the managers who rushed the techs onward to the
next task.

Always time to do it over, never time to do it right == incompetent.
