>I've worked at places where well-meaning 'just get stuff done' people created mountains of technical debt that hobbled the project in the long term. Made them look great, though.

Those people were just getting a bit better at building things. They were building experience. It just so happens you found their bad code that they'll realize was terrible a few years from now.

We can't simultaneously hate our own previous code and expect everyone else to delivery perfectly when they first start (or even at mid-level).
