Valentina's original blog post is easily misinterpreted. She is correct that quality is optional. Obviously so, many companies do fine with very poor quality software.

But something being mandatory or not doesn't influence the ROI. Something can be optional and high ROI or mandatory and low ROI. Low quality software is quite destructive over the long term and it is a horrible mistake to let coders go wild writing buggy software slowly.

That being said, the post is probably clickbait aimed at promoting her services. I doubt many people would make the mistake of thinking it a good idea to purposefully low quality written at slow speed.
