Widespread misconception. There are plenty of product managers / executives who also want quality and plenty of engineers who want to ship. I'd wager most engineers would rather ship and get their creation in front of users than spend eternity perfecting it.

of course we can never speak of an entire population in absolutes, only tendencies, but if you're going to argue against the tendency i'd like to see a bit more depth to the argument than "I'd wager". I also don't think my overall point suffers at all if you substitute "engineers" with "some people" and "corporate side" with "other people", so i'm going to politely request that we do that going forward so we can address the substance of the discussion rather than the makeup of the two sides of it.
