I think there's a balance to be struck between code quality and delivery speed.
GNU Hurd is a well known example where they spent a so much time on getting the code right that the project became irrelevant. And of course you made the case for erring on the "too much code too quickly" side
The comment I responded to talked of “speedrun” and “full speed ahead”. That’s the antithesis of balance.
The point you’re making is valid but has no bearing on the current conversation. GNU Hurd is also an extreme case, the overwhelming majority of software suffers more from being rushed than from being so slow it becomes irrelevant.
