The blog post was good but it was just another variation highlighting the age old conundrum... fast, good and cheap, pick two.

Those that value quality are going to be swimming up stream in most organization that develop software because the bean counters always go straight to fast and cheap.

I work in regulated industry and you really don’t want the level of scrutiny regulated processes have in other industries. Innovation would slow down to a crawl or pretty much stop. In a lot of industries you can make trade offs quality vs speed or innovation and be better off by not having perfect quality.

I strongly agree. However to my experience companies decide on quality vs speed based on other factors rather than business needs. For example, in my previous job, CTO called “ overengineering” whenever something went against his will, while “innovation/we are not a Corp” was his tail wind. So much office politics for such a small company :/
