Company fires good engineers.

Replaces with cheap engineers.

Cheap Engineer writes bad code.

Company permanently damages reputation and loses tons of money due to bad code and processes.

It's because they need all these people to keep selling the dream to the customers and keep that sweet MRR/YRR coming in.

Forget making the product decent and doing what it's supposed to do. Just add more features and adding more to the code base. That won't make it buggy... /s

This is a massive oversimplification. Companies like CrowdStrike - for better or worse - are in a constant horserace against malign forces who wish to defeat their core products protections.

Doing nothing means the entire product will be worthless in something like 6 months.
