There’s a real tension between business values and engineering values.
As developers we think quality is essential (and it kind of is for the long-term success of the business), but for the business quality is a cost and a risk… and cost is to be minimized and risks to be mitigated (legal, retention, etc) just like speeding on the highway.
If there’s no business, like in the case of open source projects, then yeah, quality would probably reign supreme specially if the devs care a lot about craftsmanship and squeezing out cpu cycles.
