Everything you're saying is true, sometimes. Assume I'm still right, and that you might be able to learn something from someone else.
I do not see how I was being rude, unless it was my use of quotations around the title you claim.
> I'm a human being ...
I did not doubt this.
> ... I'm a very experienced product manager and engineer ...
Again, if it was my use of quotations which you found to be rude, then I do not know what to say about that.
> ... and the way you are behaving sucks.
I respect your perspective and support your right to express yourself. And no, I do not think you are being rude by doing so.
> Assume I'm still right ...
Why would I? You responded to:
>> This is a site full of developers who are convinced that "proper software engineering" is 100% of what makes a business successful, and everything and everyone else is useless.
With:
> As a technical product manager, this 1000%.
Finally, you write:
> ... you might be able to learn something from someone else.
Maybe you can learn something from someone else as well.
> It's just irrelevant how bad code is unless it impacts the business
So the negative effects of poor code quality are completely irrelevant to you as long as they don't affect the bottom line.
Sorry if you think I'm being rude. I think it's ruder to make peoples lives worse because you only care about profits.
Low quality code always impacts product quality in a negative manner. That is why it is "low quality code."
"High quality code" also impacts product quality, but in the predictably positive manner; fewer defects, ability to be enhanced, understandable behavior, etc.
Please consider the context of my quotation which I documented elsewhere in this thread.
