Quality is overrated when it comes to tech.

A quality product can be written with many different tech stacks. You just need to be able to recognize what is good enough to get the job done.

I can often deliver faster choosing a good enough stack that my team knows compared to finding the best tool for the job.

I would say quality is undervalued when it comes to technology. Technology suffers from a plague of bloat, and it's getting worse as high level languages pile on the dependencies and abstractions, all the while justifying the waste with "quality is overrated".

I find it hard to believe that you can ship a high quality product without caring about the quality of the components going into it, or that this won't cost you down the line. It only takes a few "good enoughs" in terms of probability theory to end up with a multitude of poor product tail results.

It's also not enough to get the job done, you need to maintain what you ship. You don't need to choose the absolute best tool, but choosing quality tools pays dividends over time.
