displatch

To dispatch messages in a sloppy or haphazard fashion, without due concern for detail, data integrity or the world around you.

Derived from a computer application where a misspelling of 'dispatcher' became symbolic of more fundamental attitudes towards the design and implementation of computer systems.
"Did you include the message displatcher? You need to include the displatcher."
"Why?"
"Who knows, it's always been that way."
