I think you simply cannot compare - 40 years ago you perhaps had the time to tweak and optimize a small piece of code, and working hard you could perhaps achieve a perfect, but very small tool.
The code base of Cod however must be HUGE, most of the work probably gets into just getting all the mess somehow organized, and it would take unimpossible amounts of manpower to do everything perfect. Complexity is the problem,not lazy or sloppy coders.... its just plain insulting to insinuate they would not care because of the available hardware.
