99.9% of all software ever written was for others. Was it all mediocre and "not entirely what they wanted"?
Having lived and breathed (and somehow survived) in the enterprise environment that employs the vast majority of the programmers out there, I can agree with that proposition whole-heartedly.
Yes, 99.9% of the software that gets written is mediocre at best. A shockingly large proportion of it is downright abysmal, but most of it is mediocre. Thankfully, we don't get to see most of that software since it is safely locked away inside the mega-corporations that pay hordes of programmers to write it.
