I think this line of thought is a big problem in the development community.

There is a clear separation between code quality and shipping a successful products. Ideally you would want both if possible, but a product is not just code.

Ideally both, but if I had to sacrifice code quality for a successful product I would sort in exponential time if it meant getting a working product out the door faster. It doesn't need to be good, just good enough. (IMO obviously)
