> developers forget that the goal is to ship software and instead focus on doing everything the most correct

I'm far, far more frustrated by developers who focus only on shipping software and making dates by cutting corners wherever they can and leave everybody else to deal with their gigantic mess later.

That is squarely and fully leadership issues. I means this 100%. The way to avoid this are fully in management and leadership hands.

Agreed. I think many of us realize the futility of getting our leadership to change, and instead hope that our coworkers will change.
