Apparently structured code has fallen out of favor these days. It’s all about getting it done via Agile, a chunk at a time.

I used to write applications (I refuse to say "apps" to make them sound hipper and cooler...) and you're exactly right. Agile is an excuse IMO for creating coding messes for someone else to clean up later.

The entire concept of "Agile" itself is a wreck (again, IMO) primarily because it gives business users an excuse to never come up with a firm set of requirements for what an a-p-p-l-i-c-a-t-i-o-n needs to do. It's a never ending, sliding set of requirements that simply never gets met and the end product is always in a state of flux. Again because business users can't make up their mind what they want are complete idiots.

Agile is speed over everything else. Including quality. Sooner or later, this is going to get a bunch of people killed. We will see how it works out for them when they hid behind their EULAs and tell the world that they are not responsible.
