Yeah, I in my experience this is the root of most bad code. People rushing. And it is not even necessarily faster to rush, since often working slow and methodical wins the race. I don't get why we as managers and engineers have just accepted rushing and taking shortcuts as the default. Especially at the big tech companies this constant rush makes zero sense, they have tons of engineers they use very inefficiently.

Reasoning with unreasonable people is not impossible but drains too much time and energy... and you don't know if they will not come back to you next week and hit you with "You know what, I actually think that your idea is not as good. Let's get back to mine and...". I have danced this dance. As much as it pains my younger idealistic self to say this, you'll know how well you'll work with somebody after the end of the first week. All the signs are there, we just choose to ignore them because you can't bail during your first month after all.
