For sure! And most of the time I would say spending 20x the time on a thing that you have no flipping idea is going to land is worse than technical debt, its called closing your doors.

I just wanted to call out the posters who blame individual eng for the product quality, they've either never worked in a toxic org or are helping be the source!
