Interestingly, IMO writing good code with discipline is also slow (CI breaks, code review takes forever, updating unit tests takes time, integration tests take a long time to run etc.). The main advantage of disciplined process over the cowboy approach is that, in cowboy approach, the code can become unworkable after a couple of years, whereas with "mature" software engineering there's good hope that the codebase will still be maintainable 5-10 years down the road.
