I firmly agree with your first sentence. I can just think about the various modders that have created patches and performance enhancing mods for games with budgets of tens to hundreds of millions of dollars.
But to give other devs and myself some grace, I do believe plenty of bad code can likely be explained by bad deadlines. After all, what's the Russian idiom? "There is nothing more permanent than the temporary."
