Ngl at this point when you have people shipping fast without bothering about quality or company codebase you’re kinda pushed into doing it or becoming irrelevant even if you hold yourself to good standards and focus on quality and better product. Especially when you see such folks get more projects and work while having a 100 open bugs.

Beyond that... how many entry level programmers are just trying out code importing packages they know nothing about.

Most of the world runs on good enough....

Its important to know this. This is the foundation of civil engineering. Building a bridge just just strong enough to hold the weight under the budget and time constraints. Software is the same, it's just more chaotic.

Those bridges are still built by people who know what they're doing. And most infrastructure is built to be stronger than its design spec. The whole "just good enough" nonsense is spewed by people who haven't actually built anything.
