Focusing on fixing bugs and maintainability can make a project substantially better long term. Though I am not very keen on the underlying reasons the author gives. Seem to be anecdotal and not cover a host of other situations the solution could cover. I think there can be many other reasons. Cultural for one. In the example of the professional team they may still be beholden to write cheap code because of certain business decisions, despite tests and the fanciest of ci builds. Additionally ‘amateur’ teams could still produce high functioning websites if there goals were shifted toward leaning and measurements taken against customer satisfaction and reduction of bugs over time.
