👉 Sucks engineering refers to the inefficiencies, flaws, or poor design choices that lead to suboptimal performance in a system, product, or process. It encompasses a range of issues, from inadequate resource allocation and poor decision-making to technical shortcomings and a lack of innovation. Engineers might overlook critical factors, fail to anticipate potential failures, or neglect user needs, resulting in products that are not only underperforming but also costly to maintain and less competitive. This term often highlights a disconnect between theoretical design and practical application, leading to solutions that fall short of expectations and can frustrate users or stakeholders.
