> it's 2025 and companies saddled with tech debt continue to prioritize speed of delivery over quality

Maybe. I'm seeing the opposite - yes, the big ships take time to turn, but with the rise of ransomware and increasing privacy regulation around the world, companies are putting more and more emphasis on quality and avoiding incidents.

Also, companies are expected to adapt more faster or see their lunch money taken by startups (unless you're in a heavily regulated space). There's a lot of quality opensource software out there, so you don't need much to bootstrap. The tech debt that was ok because you can take your sweet time to deliver some feature is no longer so.
