As others have said, the benefit is speed, not quality. And in my experience you get a lot more speed if you’re willing to settle for less quality.

But the reason you don’t see a flood of great products is that the managerial layer has no idea what to do with massively increased productivity (velocity). Ask even a Google what they’d do with doubly effective engineers and the standard answer is to lay half of them off.
