I have to agree with that as a lead. Most developers claim to be done with a task without taking care of the small details that users will immediately notice. It’s a constant struggle to try to get them to care about what is actually the value of the feature they are implementing, let alone chase on their own initiative the small issues unless painfully listed in some requirements document.

As a dev Im always noticing these little problems in my designs but my boss just wants the thing done asap without worrying too much about it being nice to use.

Same here to the point when I do leave it’s going to be one of the reasons given.

One example is how this product manager type, because of company politics, isn’t really under the same department as the other software teams.

Because of his very very narrow horse blinkers approach, he doesn’t see or even comprehend why we’d want to align with literally anything in any other team and that includes visual UI stuff.

That’s why we have a bright neon pink “Back” button. Right in the literal center of the screen. It’s insane.

It is the bottom and the top that appreciates the quality

the middle appreciate metrics and deliverables

Oh in my case it's a small company and my boss is "the top"

There is a special role for that: Test Engineer. However, testing is a cost center and is underfunded in most companies.

For most things small details unfortunately do not really matter and thus are left out
