Capitalism doesn't incentivise building quality software, it incentivises building as quickly as possible and covering up the flaws because "we'll fix it later"

Capitalism doesn't incentivise building quality software, it incentivises building as quickly as possible and covering up the flaws because "we'll fix it later" (spoiler: it doesn't get fixed later.)
Until the incentives change, the outcome won't change.
Pointless meetings and bureaucracy also doesn't help. Instead of giving engineers time and breathing room to build well-defined systems, organisations treat them like fungible workhorses that must meet arbitrary deadlines.
