OK, I landed #1 spot on HackerNews with a product I mostly developed (under a different nick) some time ago. You know everything about me as well. It was also competitor of one of your products.

All I am saying is that these are assumptions/metrics with which VCs/owners run/structure their companies and what actually matters to them. I have experienced it dozen times. I have also experienced when I had to fix somebody's horrible code in production developed in high velocity/high stress/low quality mode that was bringing one famous tech company down (lawsuits etc.), and had to correct spots I'd never seen before in some of the most complicated areas of the product dealing with provably infeasible problems (distributed systems). I'd also experienced an environment in a relaxed top company (rated higher than either of FAANGs) where we discussed ad infinitum just individual names of functions, their parameters and if they perfectly capture their meaning and refactored them daily; I don't have to say that project wasn't having much of a velocity and its market share reflected that.
