Point taken, though I'd like to charitably think Americans are 'lazy' the way Haskell is lazy or Japanese Kanban or Jidoka is lazy. As MisterTea points out, the VCs invest in metrics, management pushes on metrics, and productive engineers deliver metrics at the cost of bugs and tech debt. Then we engineers wait for bug reports to percolate down, and we respond only as needed. On Sundays we repent by writing elegant high-quality code that nobody uses. We feel deeply that something is wrong.
