"Worse is Better":
The software development philosophy that flexible software is too useful to too many people and should therefore be replaced with a proliferation of inferior alternatives, all of which have significant problems or limitations which result in them all being of minimal overall usefulness.
Such non-useful software can be made cheaply and easily by lazy and poorly trained people who don't particularly feel like or know how to write reasonably good code. The result is that software becomes worse, however it is exactly this inferiority which is highly valued by savvy modern developers.
Summary:
"Worse is Better" is a hip, common and convenient way to rationalize the practice of habitually phoning-in half-assed work.
