Yeah I was going to say something along those lines. End users care about features and code quality, but not in the way developers think. Users deeply care when their application keeps crashing (but they don't care at all when it doesn't crash) Likewise, users care when the app is too slow, too. And, they care about the app having all the features they want or like (even if they don't know it and can't articulate to you exactly what they want). Users don't care how maintainable the code base is. Whether a new feature takes 2 hours or 2 weeks to make is completely irrelevant for them. Now, they care about the second orders consequences of this: an unmaintainable mess will probably never have all the features they want, or will be too buggy, etc. But, code quality is just a lever to achieve the things that users want. It's a means to an end. If you don't pull the lever correctly, it's wasted
