That's a hard argument to make when even the pros still do this stuff. My point was if the pros have trouble doing it then the volunteers more likely will.

There's also a point that many professional techies would probably not want to work on these kinds of products or websites.

If the Engineers say, they wont build your dream bridge, then you wont get a bridge. Easy as that. Sometimes there is a reason pros wont do it.

Yeah, I really doubt that has much merit in this context. If you're one of these engineers feel free to explain why you wouldn't do it and why these entities don't deserve work but an entity like Facebook does.

Engineers will surely build you a bridge, if you pay them to do so, it just will not be your dream bridge. As they have to adhere to physics.

Maybe our problem is that most rules are not physical and thereby easy to break.
