There are certainly domains in which quality is a crucial factor. If you&#x27;re writing software that lives depends on - avionics, automotive control, medical equipment, encryption for classified information - then you can&#x27;t &quot;move fast and break things&quot;.<p>Also, if you&#x27;re selling software for lots of money (e.g., enterprise software at a million dollars a sale) that big companies depend on for billions of dollars of revenue, your customers are going to be a lot less tolerant of breakage than some user who uses a free web site or an app that cost $1.99.
