Exactly. It's an industry shift, and one person can't reverse it alone. But I disagree with "better something than nothing" when it comes to quality. That's how we normalized catastrophes in the first place. The lemon market problem you described is real—users can't evaluate quality, so price becomes the only signal. But engineers can evaluate quality. We're the ones who should refuse to ship garbage, even if management pushes back. Being grumpy works locally. It won't fix the industry, but it fixes your team. And when enough teams refuse to normalize this, the pattern shifts.
We solve big problems by turning them into many small problems. There is no difference here. One step at a time.
