I will never understand this position. My life are already chaotic enough without factoring in the work-related part of it, it makes no sense to me why someone would actively invite chaos like the one you're describing. I'm much more excited by solving interesting problems or creating useful things than by having my work day interrupted by a production error that needs to be fixed immediately.

You're not necessarily inviting chaos, you're making a cost/benefit analysis of moving faster or safer. I prefer to move faster.

Moving safer takes up a lot of, imo, unnecessary time with dubious payoffs. I'd personally rather live on the side of YOLO and ship a lot then hem/haw over getting certain % unit test coverage (and the maintenance costs that come with that in the face of uncertain requirements).
