Feels like nobody learns how to weld panels right anymore

Ngl I see so many guys just slapping filler over everything instead of taking the time to actually stitch a patch panel in. Last week I pulled a quarter panel off a 2002 Civic and the previous guy had like half an inch of bondo over rust holes. What happened to just doing the job slow and right the first time?

I mean yeah it's annoying but a lot of those civics are just cheap beaters at this point, right? If it's a $1500 car I kinda get why someone would just glob on the filler instead of spending three weekends on it.

That lazy fix just hides rust underneath and makes it someone else's problem later.
