Quality matters.
There is quality in code which you seem to be ignoring, troubling.
There is quality in delivering on time.
There is quality in the end-users' experience.
There is quality in the developers' experience.
There is quality in the investors' experience.
Quality is different than maximizing a metric (earnings per share, on time deliveries, user experience survey score, code coverage)
There is quality in finding the right balance in any situation.
Many many people want to maximize a single metric tacitly expecting everything else to be great, that is a good lesson to unlearn. Switching from one quality target to another is not.
