I've seen absolutely awful copypasta spaghetti code with a cargo-cult attitude to everything it did which compiled into a highly rated app, and also carefully engineered code which spent years in development yet only got to go live for a few weeks before the investors got cold feet.
On the other hand, I've also seen bad code that made the app it compiled into unreliable and hard to fix; and well-made code which allowed products to exist years before the general market caught up.
Speed running the basics can work sometimes, but unfortunately it doesn't give you the experience to know if this time is one of those times. This is also why vibe coded stuff is both fantastic when it works and also often degenrates into a huge mess.
I mostly agree, albeit with some caveats.
