"The other engineer takes his time but when he releases something there are never any bugs." Ah yes that guy. The person super worried about quality at a startup doing "uber for cats". Avoiding bugs at all costs, meetings, deep unit testing, always rolling their eyes at "bad code". "Funny how the first engineer gets the promotion and now he also becomes a sub-par leader." Not really at a startup. You are testing if an idea even "works" - why in god would you start worrying about quality. Bring the product to life, get feed back fast. Your quality slow churning code could be in the wrong direction. People that write deep quality code generally protect it, shine it, rub it. Good luck explaining to this guy this isn't 'what we want'. What is worse than bad code? Good code never used.
