Someone in my last thread on the topic quoted an unnamed startup CEO saying something like "it only has to work until we get acquired," and that sums up our so-called industry's approach to code quality perfectly. Claude Code obviously looks like a power multiplier when nobody gives a shit about the long or even medium term.

@bodil THIS. Also, the regular CEO quote "customers don't want to pay for quality" ugh ugh gross. It's like cowboy roofers -- the roof looks fine but there's no insulation, no sealing, the load bearing is yolo'ed etc.

Most CEOs I have worked with do not give a tin shit about the machinery looks like as long as number goes up in the short term.

@bodil @oisin conveniently they all forget that they trained us not to believe in paying for quality via price segmentation
