Matches my own experience when working on software where quality matters, like large and long-running scientific projects: Even if there are tight time constraints, you won't sacrifice quality, because that would make you slower.

Same for hardware builtin crypto, like encrypting storage. Except there it's 2 of 3.

Wrong take on cheap, and addressed to the wrong party in the system. Efficiency and simplicity are already mandatory for being good, particularly in software.

This is why so many techbros should stick to software, or even better, sales. You are not the user.
