If that is all you got from my 'rant', then you've missed the point of my message.
FYI, houses do fall down and pipes do burst too. Heck, if you want to go that far, let's talk about a company thats been around for a 100+ years, that is worth a couple hundred billion US dollars, that hires the best chemical, mechanical and civil engineers to build (or outsource) building an underwater pipe that bursts and floods the ocean with a black liquid that kills everything within its spill area.
The guy obviously can't seem to get the mantra of going from bottom-up (because not everyone is like that), so putting the shit together and then plugging in where problems may exist is a simple alternate strategy to feel some sense of "completion".
So until the day where the super-talented PhD folk at the big software companies can stop storing their passwords in .txt files or losing 5 million passwords on their holy-grail 140 character-limit app, then piecing things and facing a data breach simply becomes a 'cost', unless your PR firm sucks.
