Sigh. This article just sets up a bunch of false dichotomies. You can ship good code and put a product in the hands of people at the same time. You can also ship shit code and do the same. It obviously takes more expertise and diligence to ship the better quality code but it's not like taking 5 extra minutes before every commit is gonna break your business if you didn't have a proper business model to begin with.
This. "Go fast!" is often an excuse for putting zero thought at all into sane design or basic layering, which is basically just as fast as doing it the wrong way.
