Some of this is a senior engineer justifying his own job. One time I copied code almost verbatim from another highly regarded team. Senior engineer ripped it, claiming it wasn’t at standard for the company. Then I told him it was from team x. A lot of this is bravado and a dog and pony show. You need code quality, but the important things are at the software architecture level/abstractions.
