Clickbait title. This is in the context of competitive coding, which is a very specific and constrained programming exercise with a time limit. Which is not at all comparable to real world software development.
I think the problem is, to businesses it is very much comparable. Businesses only ever (and don't listen to anything they say, that's all a lie) think about short term revenue gains. If they actually ever planned ahead you'd not have the month end, quarter end and year end revenue panics that seemingly every medium to large organization has.
So, being able to make decent looking software fast, is actually way more useful to them than it being "good" long term.
My only hope at this point, is people doing software engineering for as many years as I have can now create "Artisan software" as an art piece or something and get rich from it. :P
