> Devs aren't clowns who make it this far.
simias referred to the industry and you took it personally.
Why is it whenever someone mentions the shortcomings of software industry, there is always a comment saying "no no no, developers were just following orders!"

Because by that rationale all industries are circuses filled with clowns. It's incentives not ineptitude. It's a clumsy take.

Sounds like they’re talking about devs
I don't disagree with the point that a lot of software that isn't pressured to be shipped quickly still ends up following bad practices, but I don't think we can ignore that the quality issues in software aren't also found all over in many industries because of profit motives?
