That is naive take, you really think if you work hard on improving code, pointing out flaws, there will never be any issues?

In reality that I live, there is never enough time, if you have 3-4 team mates pumping features out, it is already impossible to prevent every problem and review every piece of code.

I don't have to be cynical about it, it just happens that issues will crop up over time and I am there to fix them and there is never enough time to prevent them up-front, because if you will try then you will never deliver anything. Ship fast and break things is maybe too far - but still shipping something beats not shipping ideal state.




We have a very good test suite, I don't think there's been a bad release in years.


We also don’t have bad releases but we had a new customer that added 100 users that used specific workflow that was working for years for other customers.

Those 100 users took performance to a crawl but we never seen it earlier because it was never used that way in that capacity.
