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].
