> Even if they are right about quality, people on here vastly overstate the value of quality

I always found the quality argument strange; what software are these people using that makes them think quality is a high priority?

I recognize that my experience may not be typical, but I spend the vast majority of my development time improving the quality of the systems I work on, in response to specific customer demands for it. The last time I had multiple consecutive weeks of greenfield development was in 2021.
