You probably don't care about the ingredients or engineering of asphalt, only if the road does its job well or is filled with potholes. Outside of the software industry, nobody gives a shit about code or databases.

I agree. But if I'm paying for the road (even as a taxpayer) I get angry that after a year it's full of potholes and that there are unnecessary signs warning about penguin crossing, making it cost 2 times more than it should have (and dont get me started why this road is really a highway leading to my house). I'd want certain qualities. And this article is basically = you will get a road, built quickly
But yes, you are right - I don't build roads and don't know what is a price to build a road and how to determine the quality of correctly built one, nor I will ever care or learn.
> And this article is basically = you will get a road, built quickly
That's not how I am reading it. You will get a road built exactly to your spec, quickly. So no penguin crossings unless you ask for them.
I am also not entirely sure how the pothole argument translates.

I care that the engineer followed industry standard best practices and used high quality asphalt. How could i not care about that? How do you think potholes aren't related to the engineering of asphalt?
