Developers are too often bad engineers.

This I agree with, but would excuse it by simply stating investment isn't there for proper engineering standards. I'd love to produce bug-free tested to reasonably unbreakable, ethically implemented code every single time. But I'd be out of a job pretty quickly and replaced by someone willing to do it faster with more critical bugs and no thought of the ethical implications of a failure.
