There were always people who only cared if it "just works", that part isn't exactly new. I think what we are saying is that good code matters beyond what you can understand or appreciate, until it blows your face off. This isn't something we could ever convince you of, and...

hearing you trying to explain yourself makes us even more worried than before.

Don't get me wrong, I don't support it, but at this point, I've heard enough from the upper-stakeholders to get what they're imagining in their head. Basically, think of a system that takes a long list of requirements, then just magically makes a working code out of it. Then automagically takes bug reports, fixes them, and adds it to the list of the requirements. Rinse and repeat to make sure things just work. The higher up you go in the chain of command, the more you realize that, genuinely nobody cares about code quality, engineers and etc. in any of the companies that are not solely tech companies.

Again, the selling point to higher ups is that you won't need to deal with code anymore, because things will just "work". How? I don't know, but that's what they're imagining and trying to cash into.
