> Not caring about the actual product will eventually kill a company. Eventually is a long time. Unfortunately for all of us ("us" being not just software engineers, but everyone impacted by this and similar lack of proper engineering outcomes) it is a proven path to wealth and success to ignore engineering a good product. Build something adequate on the surface and sell it like crazy. Yeah, eventually enough disasters might kill the company. Countless billions of dollars will have been made and everyone responsible just moves on to the next one. Rinse & repeat.
