👉 "Sick engineering" refers to the practice of designing, building, or implementing systems, products, or processes that are intentionally flawed, inefficient, or unsafe, often with the intention of causing harm, disruption, or financial loss. This can manifest in various ways, such as creating overly complex systems that are prone to failure, prioritizing cost-cutting over safety and quality, or deliberately undermining regulations and standards. Sick engineering often results from a culture that values short-term gains over long-term sustainability and ethical responsibility, leading to outcomes that can have significant negative impacts on individuals, communities, and the environment."
