I find it very dangerous to work with folks that prefer speed over quality. I would prefer that folks do not request me to code review if they are going to ignore my comments and push to production without answering all my questions.

    Imho, those aren’t really devs. More like corporate code monkeys.

    It's speed over quality everywhere. The place that did not where I worked went bankrupt. Being creative with tradeoffs is key.

    here I thought it was deference over everything

    to be fair it isn't always a conscious choice. for me, I can't spend too much time on quality, and cringe at the AI slop I have to push just to meet deadlines. I hate working like this, and I have no say in the deadlines

    For us it’s speed over quality for prototypes and user tests. For products we are regulatory over quantity over speed.

    You can get quality speed though, so they are not mutually exclusive🤔

    @hjk101 In this case they push things through without addressing concerns in code review because it "needs to get out quickly." So this is a case of ignoring quality specifically for speed.

    Definitely are times when we can have both! But this is not it.
