Do code quality and architecture astronauts matter? If I were a VC, I would set up an automated code quality monitor and bring human consultants. I saw Indian startups copy paste code in Lambda web editor without any VCS, critical code which can be touched by one person who may have left, buggy half baked ORMS/frameworks, URL params that allow anybody to access anything etc. They enable territorial people, reward yes men, leave you vulnerable to hacking etc.

The big exception, though, is having a super solid foundation because you will need the ability to pivot in the shortest time without risk of regression and without burning cash. I suspect these factors are what kill most technical founders.
