I don’t think much will change until the incentives change. Right now there is basically no consequence for doing the wrong thing. Software is unique in that defects are generally tolerated. Minimizing time to market can be everything where often winners take all. Thus an incomplete solution today is worth more than a flawless solution in the future.

I’m not saying it’s good, but it is a predictable consequence of the market incentives.
