There is a very real truth to what you say, and I don't believe it is bad.

We don't want golden-polished software. Software that only just does its job, makes the company money, pays the bills, and allows for future improvements where possible/necessary. Lean and mean, then refine (if the bills have been paid).

The distinction has to be made between good software and well-written software. It is very possible to have well-written bad software and awfully-written good software.

I think realising this, is what makes a junior into a senior. Having the confidence to not always do what that little birdy in your head says :)

Customers buy software that solves problems, therefore good software solves problems. Customers buy good software, not well written software. These are not always mutually exclusive.
