I like what Peopleware says on the matter - the market has squarely selected low quality software over high quality, but if you try to drive your teams to build low quality software you will lose because you will be unable to retain good developers.

Well, the market does not select for low quality, it just selects for an attribute that often coincides with low quality, like time to market or low cost.
