I've been a perf/cap analyst since 1981, and I can unequivocally state that the original statement is specious! Upgrades are cheaper than they were, but they're still not free! And, I've been fighting against capacity based pricing sin tiers were introduced in 1984. It is still cheaper to write/test/debug/tune code before it goes into Production. And, outage causing abends are unacceptable in any case. You really need either new programmers, or management, or a crapload of comiseration!

Elardus, Agree you 100%. Maybe they need a second pair of eyes to review the design. I know I do and I will bet other software designers and system programmers do. A second pair of eyes is like a Dr.'s second option.. Like you mentioned something was missed and the easy out was a mainframe upgrade. I agree with everyone on this one, sometimes it's lack of experience too.
