But that’s what GP is saying! It took me time to adapt to that idea too, going from a fortune 50 company to a startup.

Code quality is less important at a small company or startup, where you don’t know if the code you write (or the company itself) will even be around in a few years. So building a buggy feature quickly is usually better than a solid, well-tested and reviewed one that takes a lot of time to get out the door.

This is incredibly hard to accept but is so true!
