I see techs choosing convenience over best practices lately. Perhaps I am more aware, or perhaps people are getting back in the field after a long hiatus and haven't been burned lately.
It's not just lately. That's been going on since whenever.
And it can be a tough argument to win when the other guy can slap something together in a few minutes and it 'works' but doing it the right way might take significantly longer and cost significantly more.
And yeah, until people have been burned doing it the cheap way, they will probably continue to do so.
