Is there any cliche in this industry that sets up a strawman faster than "productivity over perfection"? Half the nation's personal data is breached every week

Is there any cliche in this industry that sets up a strawman faster than "productivity over perfection"?
Half the nation's personal data is breached every week and we're over here talking about how we need more productivity and less perfection.
- ath3nd 2y ago"Productivity" means shipping the first 3 features fast, then getting overwhelmed in spaghetti and unreliability, things slow down to a halt, and the features you shipped turn out to be buggy. The desire of money people to sell hack/slash/burn kind of products to customers is so pervasive nowadays, that there is no wonder why we have: - the Boeing travesty (people actually die because of this) - the CrowdStrike debacle (who needs functioning airports and hospital appointments?) - the AT&T hacks And some manager type (who probably did a 1 month business course and is also a certified Scrum master) is gonna tell you to "ship faster, value, value, value". The disdain I have for them has no bounds.
