brute force and ignorance

n. A popular design technique at many software houses brute force coding
unrelieved by any knowledge of how problems have been previously solved in
elegant ways. Dogmatic adherence to design methodologies tends to encourage
this sort of thing. Characteristic of early larval stage programming;
unfortunately, many never outgrow it. Often abbreviated BFI: Gak, they used
a bubble sort ! That's strictly from BFI. Compare bogosity. A very similar
usage is said to be mainstream in Great Britain.
