There are a lot of these type of articles that conclude that "we", the developers, need to fix this problem. But if you read the original article by Prof. Wirth, it is not up to "us".

It is the reality of the software industry. Time-to-market is the only rule. and it dictates how we write software: Agile, Scrum, don't reinvent, deploy early, fix it later, technical debt.

There are many of us who care about quality of our work. But in performance reviews, the only thing that matters is how many features you shipped. You cannot demonstrate the quality of your work in your performance review. Or better yet, the fact that the software you wrote is going to be bug-free for next 10 years.
