this this this.
More code might equal more bugs, but if it's a net gain in business value everything else is a secondary concern.
It doesn't mean you can just ship crap all the time. If customers start complaining/seeing errors/bad performance, business value decreases and there are going to be some $discussions.
If developers are rewarded for shoveling garbage into the pipeline all the time, there are deeper organizational issues afoot.

- that_guy_iain 6y agoIsn't that just how start ups code? You ship features fast and loose and then deal with the aftermath once the company is maturer? Wouldn't this be a case of the best business value is shipping fast and loose and a slow and careful dev with 10x less bugs but is 10x slower is not what the company needs? There seems to be a time and place for everything.
