Too broad of a generalization here. The article is describing trade offs. Yes, we all could be elsewhere and doing other things, but this isn’t always valid reasoning. Anecdote incoming: I work on a product where just about every feature suffers from trade offs. Over time, this becomes a million little cuts. The overall product now lacks a proper coating and fine finish. Some of the things are done so half assed that going back to polish it just becomes lipstick on a pig. In a situation like that, I’d insist everything be built better because we’ve crossed the trade-offs budget where the trade off of getting more stuff done is no longer a worthwhile trade off.
