Where do I go to get paid to actually put in the TIME and effort required to produce something elegant and high quality?

As a contractor working on project basis, who can leverage this technique to produce code of such high quality that a commensurate price can be commanded.

You’d need to find a niche that values this level of quality, but if that exists, and if the theory is true, then there’s your gold.

Love to see that magical place.

I come to think that the whole concept of MVP/prototype became a bane to software development when the management/business side got aware of its existence. Architecture and design sessions can be skipped because we just build a prototype.

I have yet to see a prototype that did not end in production. It's "good enough software", let's move to the next feature.

When you are really lucky you can revisit your prototype a year or two later and try to improve it's design now that you got some data on its actual usage, but you have to figure out again, what the heck you actually did...
