External pressure forces me to focus. It requires you to identify ambiguity, and make a choice, vs solving for both branches.

The problem is that now with the giant amount of code that is generated we are seeing that management is really happy with those people who are getting feature after feature released.

But... as a team we're not allowed to say no to this slop. Nor are we allowed to point fingers to it when at 2AM code falls over because of some edge-case that wasn't considered.

The sheer volume removes 2 people from the equation. The developer who doesn't think line by line, and the reviewer who is overwhelmed by the amount of code.

And no, saying no is not an option. Because then you're the person with high quality standards.

Speed matters, but only if we all obey the same bar of quality.
