What is the definition of Patches Engineering?

Patches engineering is like trying to glue a broken laptop together with duct tape and hope it doesn't burst. It's the art of adding temporary fixes to fix bigger problems, much like when you patch a hole in a pillow with a balloon - it might look okay for now, but in three months, your pillow will be a testament to your DIY skills.
