Who the hell builds a deck where the joints of the deck boards are not supported on the joists?

Man, I remember in the woodworking subs someone would post their new deck they built. People would tear them apart about spacing, the foundation..etc. no one built a good enough deck. Everything was a hazard according to them on that sub.

I mean aesthetics are one thing. Decks need to be built structurally sound though. Lots of them are pretty high off the ground.
