About. They just can’t see past “must write garbage code as fast as possible”
Writing docs? Waste of time
Reviews? Waste of time.
Usability to other engineers? waste of time.
Waiting for CI because they can’t be bothered to test thing locally first? Waste of time.
Stakeholder approval? lol waste of time, we don’t care if people want the software we write.
Having any idea how anything works outside of whatever tiny thing being worked on? Waste of time.

They just can’t see past “must write garbage code as fast as possible” +1. The article summarizes well as: reasons not to ship code asap. Do it right the 1st time. Failing that: make sure any fixes absolutely, 100% fix the problem, are well tested & don't cause regressions. Isn't [determine requirements], running builds, QA etc supposed to take time? Is development velocity even a goal worth striving for? Whatever you kick out the door, could be on others' systems for ages.
