On my jobsite, working in new construction, we still complain a lot about what the people before us did. Everybody on the crew is a competent electrician, yet we still have plenty of times where we look at the most experienced electrician there and think "wth was he thinking??"

I feel love the ironic part is that both good and bad electricians can have the same outcome. Some wacky installation that works. The difference is that the bad guy probably doesn't know why it works and/or the pros/cons. The great electrician realizes that while it's probably not the "correct" way, it saves a ton of cost and work and is sufficient for what is being requested.

Well thats the thing, you don't know about all the "good enough" things, you know when they fuck something up and it doesn't work. Then curse their name as you have to redo it...
