Oof, ye i have heard about this kind of company culture. I think front-end and app development is particularly prone to cheap and dirty iteration. Bugs are cheap and non-consequential. New features are visible, fast to add, and make higher-ups happy.

I work in industrial embedded C. So perhaps i have weird expectations about the level of pedantry. A 10 row code change may take week to discuss, and likely require an open issue and test-case to get through.

At worst, a small 100 row code-change may require a 8000$ independent re-certification of the device before being fully pulled into master.
