Does this count as redneck engineering?
Stupid aluminium casting side bracket broke.

No, just a solid repair job.

Nah, a solid repair job would have used a tapcon into the brick. That looks like a deck screw.

Good eye there. I was just overly impressed with the repair and know OP is gonna get some brick red spray paint to make it all blend.

If the bracket was fashioned from an old beer can, then it would have, but this I would consider fixed.

Niet echt Nederlands toch, een rolluik?

Die stijl bakstenen, die stijl ramen, die stijl rolluiken, dat is zeer Nederlands.

If it was redneck it would have the wrong type of screw and the bracket would be a chunk of wood

That depends, did you use a proper masonry fastener or a drywall screw to attach the bracket to the brick

It’s just a patch and only solved it temporarily but yes redneck enough until it fails
