I agree to some extent, but think of it as more of this is how the sausage is made type of thing. As engineers we like to opine about perfect code, functional this, and monad that. It pains us to see that business success requires very little of even good code much less perfect. The reality is that the code rarely matters as long as it can be held together long enough for the next user or investor check to clear the bank.
This is a reality I've had a great deal of difficulty coming to terms with. I haven't internalized it fully, but I can't help but think not acknowledging this has harmed my career.
