Yes, I've worked mostly in money losing startups, but since I work in a $ billion-profit investment bank I saw the difference. It's better to waste money on technical debt crisis down the line than have no money to waste because of thousands of devs all being perfectionists locking each other.

Small startups seem to reach this stage eventually and in big companies, management is acutely aware of it, and breaks every attempt at correctness-over-business-rationality, under the teary cries of the autists, sometimes :D

So much matches with my experience. This is an indication of which company will survive two years down the lane and which not.

Too much perfectionist? You will enjoy the journey, but probably won't reach your destination.
