I don't doubt you. Frankly, being a software engineer in 2017 is getting to be pretty embarrassing. The horrendously low standard of engineering in this industry's race to the bottom is giving us all a bad name.

You are pretty right. And not only embarrassing, worrisome given the spread of software to critical systems.
The last decade brought me gray hair at a fast pace ; and that's probably not only due to age.
