What you're referring to is technical debt which can be perfectly acceptable as long as sufficient time is afforded to repaying the debt afterwards.
What I was really referring to were serious errors of judgement that would question one's integrity and / or professionalism. For example knowingly implementing a feature that could prove financially costly in the long term to the business. A feature that could harm the brand or in the worst case put safety at risk. I gave the fictitious example of a team of civil engineers who build a bridge knowing that due to the faulty design or poor quality materials it may put safety at risk.
At what point does a developer make a stand?

Yikes. Okay. Way more serious then.
It makes me think of installing java. That stupid checkbox for installing that stupid piece of crap toolbar is always defaulted to checked, and you have to remember to uncheck it. Yeah. The programmer that did that should definitely be ashamed.

The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

If you hadn't done a lot of hard-work you will never be able to do it smart!

Hardwork == Smartwork

"Hard work" is what real people do.
"Smart work" is what morons blather on about at expensive and useless management retreats in smart golfing hotels.

Actually, it's probably a safe bet that some chip manufacturer, somewhere, has named one of their chips "smart core".

Wrong question!
Effectiveness is not measured in work, it's measured in progress.
Therefore you failed, initalilly. 
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}
