Sounds like a classic web-dev perspective, my customers hate when we ship broken tools because it ruins their work, new feature velocity be dammned. We love our borrow checker because initially you run at 0.5x velocity but post-25kSLOC you get to run at 2x velocity, which continues to mystify managers worldwide.

Feature factories give web dev such a bad rep, it doesn't have to be this way..

This is not just a web-dev perspective.

People use Python in financial applications, Data Engineering and AI/ML pipelines, infrastructure software etc and the 10x speed can be real.
