Debunking the duct tape programmer
The nasty truth about misapplying duct tape solutions in serious software development is that the duct tape solution ends up creating unnecessary additional complexity because it doesn’t address the whole problem, just the symptoms. This isn’t unique to software development, but if duct tape solutions are used to achieve short term gains, then future solutions are built on a foundation of duct tape instead of some sound organizational method.

It is the work of the architect and team leads to ensure the solutions are not addressed with duct tape/patch programming approach, but there is a design and long term planning associated to every project.
I've seen too many solutions already that fail on deployment due to data center constraints the developer was not aware of, where were the architects here?
