There is a difference between quality and overengineered features nobody asked for. Nobody is suggesting we "do everything in the ideal way". We're suggesting taking 5 minutes to think about the thing you're writing in the next 30. It produces less buggy code, and likely, be able to complete the task with less iteration because you made the mistakes in your head and changed plans before you wrote them out. I close out 30 tickets a week, other teams at our company are lucky if they close out that many as a team. I'm not trading quantity for quality at all, I'm simply choosing to do the things that matter and I ignore everything else.
