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}. A very similar usage
is said to be mainstream in Great Britain.
