Brute Force and Ignorance

/brüt fȯrs {ən(d), (ˈ)an(d)} ig-n(ə-)rən(t)s/

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 it. 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."
