Another is that we're in a highly competitive industry. Our shitty code is severely hindering our ability to move fast and respond to competitive pressure. Had we paid more attention to quality while building earlier versions of our software we would be building an insurmountable competitive advantage right now.
NB: there are non-shitty parts of our codebase which have been able to evolve effectively as the company has grown. So I have definitive proof it's possible to produce good code at the MVP stage.
