The absolute pinnacle of software engineering isn't elegant codeβ€”it's the unholy workarounds that ship products. Fallout 3 devs couldn't implement a working train, so they just strapped a train model onto an NPC's head and made him run underground. The player never sees the difference.

After 15 years in the industry, I can confirm this is basically how 90% of production software works. Your banking app? Probably running on a hamster wearing a server rack hat somewhere.
