I agree with this, but I still think it has benefit, if only giving a lot of skill to the dev pulling it off. It’s a trade off of course. I myself like writing and reading it more, and I detest ‘move fast, break many subtle things you will find out only after it’s too late’. I carved out niches for myself that are hard but fulfilling and I don’t really need to worry about spending months on something some ‘gunslinger’ can put together in 3 days as my clients like long term robustness. There are devices out there 2-10 years and replacement is painful, so let’s not. We see cases with clients (I wish I could name: you will know some of them) were they have a server in the cloud and client in embedded hardware and needing to replace all devices because either client or server or both popped a security issue that would mess certification. It is also expensive to fix things without hardware: everything is iso/pci and needing recertification to changing anything. So the 100k you spend for going for perfection pays off. So far at least.
