Slowing down doesn't mean going slow. There's more to software development than vomiting out lines of code as quickly as possible.

Tell that to seemingly every engineering manager and product manager coming online over the last 8-10 years. I first noticed in 2016 there seemed to be a direct correlation between more private equity and MBA's getting into the field and the decline of software quality. So now you have a generation of managers (and really executives) who know little of the true tradeoffs between quality and quantity because they only ever saw success pushing code as fast as possible regardless of its quality and dealing with the aftermath. This lead them to promotions, new jobs etc. We did this to ourselves really, by not becoming managers and executives ourselves as engineers.
